SEG Automotive Brings Stop/Start Motor For Compact Cars In India

Bengaluru-based Automobile component maker SEG Automotive has introduced an efficient answer to reduce pollution by decreasing fuel consumption and help OEMs reach the new, more stringent CAFC goals defined by the Indian government. The company aims to achieve this with the help of its new SC60 start-stop motor system which automatically switches off the engine if the vehicle comes to a stop and the driver puts the gear into neutral, for example at a traffic light. For cars with automatic transmission, just pressed brake pedal and vehicle standstill is required. As soon as the driver presses the clutch again or in case of automatic transmission releases the brake, the engine is re-started automatically.

The new EQC is also the first production vehicle from the new EQ all-electric sub brand from Mercedes-Benz.
