Bosch has developed an electronic system that will help in reducing fuel consumption by switching off the combustion engine when the vehicle is stationary, particularly during traffic jams or at traffic signals.This and other systems supplied by Bosch will also help reduce CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions further. The technology is stated to have been used in production at BMW.
M&M is the first indian automobile industry to use it in its models.The device switches the engine off when the vehicle is stationary, and starts it again automatically as soon as the driver wishes to move off again.The Bosch system reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by as much as eight per cent.
For the Bosch start-stop approach, developers have designed a specially adapted starter, the Smart Starter Motor. There is no need for any further adjustments to the drive train or the engine.
