New Technology from Bosch Reduces Fuel Consumption

BMW, together with another German company, Bosch, in order to provide them to consumers, as a hybrid car with potential. Bosch electronic smart-stop-start system will be used at the BMW 1 - series, which will begin production this month.
The technology is akin to that used in the hybrid vehicles that are turning off the engine when the car is stopped, and as soon as it begins again Acceleration is not required. This technology was developed by Bosch, as part of its operations in the automotive parts and system.
The Smart Electronic start-stop starter is the main feature of which is designed to adapt to the stop-start operation especially for urban driving. Frequent acceleration and deceleration needed on city streets because of the shade, traffic on city streets. Completion down the engine when the vehicle is stationary does not mean that the fuel will be wasted. This means that no fuel is burned in a way no emissions will produced.
According for laboratory tests, Bosch stop-start system reduces fuel consumption by about eight per cent in the next trip. Carbon dioxide emissions are also reduced by the same percentage. In congested city streets with traffic and so much time on the vehicle must stop is more stop-start system can reach ore than eight per cent of fuel consumption and emissions reduction.
Dr. Volkmar Denner, a member of the board of directors Bosch management, it can be said of its system: " This technology significantly reduces fuel consumption, particularly in urban driving. & Quot; This is true because, as hybrid cars, technology, efficiency can really appreciated on city streets, where frequent stops to be done. According to Denner, " This and other systems represented Bosch will reduce CO2 emissions further in the future & quot;.
The development of the system in response to stringent emission standards adopted by the European Union. This technology can also be sent to the current threat of global warming due to excessive production of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from vehicles.
Aside from the start-stop technology, Bosch has announced the development of battery sensor, which defines the powers of the left in a car battery and Concerning the information that the vehicle electronic control module that activates charging the battery pack. " Bosch & quot; prepared for its expertise in combination traction control, energy management, and starter technologies for the creation of this system and its control ", Denner said. The technology developed by Bosch can complement engine to save fuel and reduce emission.
With more and more innovations such as this, the automobile industry will make a great leap forward in the fight against global warming. In the future, not only of BMW cars can be equipped with this technology, since it can be used on other vehicles without the need to make changes in the drivetrain. beaux saul
