It is a system that was used by Fiat in the 1990s with the Regata, and then used by car manufacturers in more recent years to comply with emissions regulations. Especially if you live in a big city, it is very useful for reducing emissions. As for the health of the engines, it is a bit less beneficial, because it involves more starts and even though the starter motor and battery are reinforced, the engine may suffer a bit.
