On the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), start-stop systems reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 5 per cent, whilst the saving is as much as 8 per cent on the NEDC urban cycle. This ensures that the engine is only stopped if the battery has stored enough energy to start the engine again quickly.
