Startstopteknik is an automotive technology designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary, such as at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic. The system restarts the engine when the driver releases the brake pedal, allowing the vehicle to accelerate smoothly.

The technology works by using a combination of sensors, actuators, and control systems to monitor the vehicle's speed and braking status. When the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the engine is shut off to conserve fuel and reduce emissions. The engine restarts when the driver releases the brake pedal, providing a seamless transition to acceleration.

Startstopteknik is particularly effective in urban driving conditions, where vehicles spend a significant amount of time idling at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic. By reducing the time the engine is running during these periods, the technology can significantly improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

The technology is available in a variety of vehicles, including cars, vans, and buses, and is often used in conjunction with other fuel-saving technologies such as regenerative braking and hybrid powertrains. While the technology can provide significant benefits in terms of fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, it may also have some drawbacks, such as increased wear and tear on the engine and transmission due to frequent starts and stops.
