Continental Automotiverated Starter Generator (ISG) technology replaces the conventional starter, generator and flywheel of the engine and provides an auxiliary function as an automatic vehicle start-stop system for further improved fuel efficiency. The system switches off the combustion engine at zero load and automatically restarts it in less than one hundred milliseconds when the gas pedal is pressed.
The pulse-start technology accelerates the combustion engine to the required cranking speed and only then initiates the combustion process for instant ignition.
The system's dimensions allow it to be placed on the crankshaft between the engine and the transmission. The ISG reaches a peak generator output of 9 kW with an efficiency of more than 80 percent across the entire speed range.
