TE connectivity, India has told that Start-Stop technology will be introduced in our country for two wheelers within the next three months. Only the cars have this Start-Stop technology but now the two wheelers in India will get this fuel saving technology. The Start-Stop function can work only in neutral in geared two wheelers and this technology improves the fuel efficiency of vehicles.
Director of TE Connectivity India S Vishwanath said, “We cannot disclose the detail of our customer right now, but we are working with a Tier-1 supplier for designing components for Start-Stop for two-wheelers in India. The tier–1 is a multinational company and we are in an advance stage of discussion. If everything goes well, in a few months we will see it in the market. Initially it will be retrofitted. We are in the design stage and will start the supply in the next three months. But I think it is just a question of time. I hope very soon even the two-wheeler OEMs will take it up”.
He added,” It works very well with automatic transmission, but for a gear transmission it has to be in the neutral position. The system will be more adoptable for gearless scooters. The OEMs are also showing interest in it. This would be probably the first time that a Start–Stop option for two-wheelers will be available”.
