In addition, the standard stop-start function ensures almost silent stop phases at stops and traffic lights. Since the stored electricity is also used while driving, the natural gas engine has to generate less energy and fuel consumption is further reduced. The new natural gas vehicles with Euro 6 engines are almost emission-free.
