BlueMotion Technologies from Volkswagen is a series of technologies that help to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The technologies include:
- Engine Start/Stop System: This system automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle is stopped, and then restarts it when the driver presses the clutch or brake pedal.
- Regenerative Braking: This system captures the energy that is generated when the vehicle brakes, and uses it to power the electrical system.
- Low Rolling Resistance Tires: These tires have a special design that reduces the amount of rolling resistance, which can improve fuel efficiency.
- Aerodynamic Enhancements: These enhancements help to reduce drag, which can also improve fuel efficiency.
BlueMotion Technologies can help to reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%, and can also reduce emissions of CO2 and other pollutants.
