How does the Start & Stop system work on PSA Peugeot and Citroen engines?

Model: Citroen Citroen Various
Part: Engine

In this video, we see how the Start & Stop system works on Citroen and Peugeot vehicles. In the city, it often happens that the car has to stop, continuing to consume fuel and emit exhaust gases unnecessarily. This solution is therefore very suitable for combating city pollution because during short stops it completely deactivates the engine, avoiding air pollution. In the video, we see how the system works, which recovers energy from braking, recharging the battery so that it is always available for restarts. The system is very smooth and the user doesn't even notice when the engine restarts at a traffic light.
