www.chinabuses.org: One million vehicles equipped with Bosch start-stop technology since production started at end of 2007. Start-stop is the new automotive equipment that innovated by Bosch Group. This new system can efficiently reduce fuel consumption and toxic gas. Since production began in 2007, Bosch has received more and more orders for this fuel-saving technology.

According to Bosch's statistics show that only 5 percent of all new vehicles were equipped with this system in 2008. It predicts that this share will increase to 50 percent by 2012. Bosch start-stop systems are excellent value for money, since they are based mainly on already existing components, which are then optimized. This is why start-stop is such a good solution for people who want to drive economically and eco-consciously.

Start-stop systems stop 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.
