A while ago we brought you a story about Swedish industrial bearings major SKF testing their bolt-on start stop systemon motorcycles like the Bajaj Pulsar and the TVS Apache. The product is now ready for a launch in the Indian two wheeler market. Also, more details have been revealed about the nature of the StopGo start-stop system from SKF, which can be fitted both at the manufacturers end as well as retro fitted onto existing vehicles. Needless to say, the minimum requirement for the SKF StopGO system will be the presence of an electric start option on the two wheeler, without which the system cannot work.
Coming to the StopGo system in itself, SKF has designed the unit to be mounted onto the hub of a two wheeler’s front wheel. This system will perform three operations by means of a sensor. The three functions are, bearing function, speed sensing and stop-start function. The start-stop system will sense the two wheeler coming to a rest through the sensor. After a preset time of say about 5 seconds, the system will turn off the engine. When the rider wants to move ahead, all he or she needs to do is to twist the throttle of the two wheeler.
The system will seamlessly start the engine and the rider can move forward. The whole idea around the start-stop system is that it will minimize the wastage of fuel while idling at traffic lights and other stop-go traffic conditions. Used in urban cities, one can expect a fuel saving of about 5%, which should recoup the cost of the system if the SKF StopGo start-stop kit is priced well. Apart from saving fuel, the other big advantage of the start-stop system is to cut down on carbon dioxide emissions. Given the threat of global warming and its adverse effects, automakers across the world are working on minimizing CO2 emissions.
SKF has put out some interesting statistics about how much CO2 emissions their StopGo system can cut down on. SKF claims that the StopGo system reduces CO2 emissions by 5 grams/kilometer, which means that an annual running of about 7875 km will reduce CO2 emissions by about 36 kilograms per year from every two wheeler. SKF estimates that if 1 in 3 two wheelers around the world adopt this system, the annual CO2 emissions can be cut down by about 36,000 tonnes, a figure which is a mammoth number indeed. All in all, the SKF StopGo system is a welcome addition to the world of two wheelers and we hope that the bearings major manages to price it competitively so that the use of this system becomes widespread.
