A start-stop system stops the combustion engine when the vehicle comes to a halt at a red light or in a traffic jam, starting it again automatically when the clutch is depressed and the vehicle is put back into gear. For this system, Bosch supplies a special starter, whose powerful electric starter motor as well as low-noise, enhanced meshing mechanics guarantee safe, fast, and quiet engine starts. The system helps to reduce fuel consumption up to 8 percent as well as CO₂ emissions.
