Ford to Introduce Start-Stop Technology in Conventional Cars and Crossovers

 

Ford Motors has recently announced that they will add the new fuel-saving technology, the ‘Start-Stop’ technology to its lineup of conventional cars, crossovers and SUV’s in North America. The ‘Start-Stop’ technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop, a feature currently found on the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid.

The American automaker said that its patented new auto ‘Start-Stop’ system for gasoline engines can deliver fuel economy savings of as much as 10%. It will also reduce tailpipe emissions to zero while the vehicle is stationary or waiting at a stop light.
The company has more than 244 patents for its Auto Start-Stop technology. This technology will be showcased on a concept at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in January.
The auto ‘Start-Stop’ technology is the latest example of Ford moving aggressively to bring affordable advanced fuel-saving technologies to all customers. The global rollout of auto Start-Stop is under way in Europe.
