Parts, Diagnostic and Services from Bosch

Start/stop systems by Bosch:

Future-oriented technology from one source

The demand for economical, ecological cars is increasing and will continue to do so
due to rising fuel prices and the need to reduce CO emissions. Start/stop systems
can make a major contribution towards cutting fuel consumption. As the driving force
behind the development of efficient and ecological vehicle technologies, Bosch can
supply innovative systems including the necessary replacement parts as well as
Service and Diagnostic concepts. All from a single source and to top Bosch quality standards.

start/stop technology by Bosch
Start/stop systems ensure that the engine cuts
out automatically when the vehicle is stationary
and thus stops burning fuel. The engine re-starts
automatically by pressing the clutch. This can
save up to 8% fuel in the urban phase of the

situations.

Start/stop systems demand a lot from the battery. The Bosch batteries S5 A and S4 E provide a reliable
supply of power for the frequent starting and stopping operations. Sufficient power is always available
