Bosch Passes 1M Mark for Start-Stop Systems

Green Car Congress

In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), start-stop systems reduce fuel consumption, and thus CO 2 emissions, by up to 5%. In the NEDC urban cycle, the saving is as much as 8%. This ensures that the engine is only stopped if the battery has stored enough energy to start the engine again quickly. Earlier post.)
