"Stop-start technology is the focus of just-auto's latest starter motors and alternators report

Did you know: Vehicles are at a standstill for one-third of the time while in urban areas

Stop-start systems could help make cities quieter, boost fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust pipe emissions. "Setting aside the additional cost," said Mike Dowsett, senior manager for micro-hybrid systems at Controlled Power Technologies, "the critical issue for automotive engineers developing stop-start is product refinement and how much confidence the driver has in the system.

Above all, stop-start cannot afford to irritate the motorist by being slow or faltering. Unfortunately, there were too many reports of early systems that were less than perfect causing their drivers to opt for the off switch and it is interesting to note that virtually all manufacturers still retain a disengage button. First generation automated manual transmissions received similar criticism. Drivers want peace of mind; they expect modern cars to be inherently reliable and similarly will have an expectation that a stop-start system will be robust and work reliably and without hesitation."
