This is especially encouraging from the prior link... There are few ideas that are more sensible than idle elimination. Instead of burning gasoline and spewing emissions while you're stuck at a stoplight, turn the engine off until the light turns green. Stop-start systems have little value for a drive in the country, but they can reduce fuel consumption in congested city driving by 6% to 10% for an outlay of a few hundred dollars. After several years of testing, automated stop-start systems have proven themselves to the point where the entire industry is adopting them as standard equipment. A few examples of major stop-start production decisions include: Mercedes Benz, which will introduce stop-start systems throughout its entire passenger car line; BMW, which has already implemented stop-start systems on all Series 1 and 3 vehicles with manual transmissions; Volkswagen (VLKAY.PK), a stop-start pioneer that is implementing the technology throughout its passenger car line; Toyota, which has already impemented stop-start systems in its Auris and Yaris lines; Ford (F), which plans to introduce stop-start systems throughout its entire passenger car line.
