Automotive Start-Stop System Market Trends

Technological advancements in components and control systems have enhanced the performance and reliability of start-stop technology. Improved starter motors, advanced batteries such as absorbent glass mat (AGM) and lithium-ion, and refined control algorithms contribute to more seamless and efficient engine restarts. These advancements reduce the wear and tear on critical components, addressing previous concerns about durability and system performance. OEMs often establish strategic partnerships with manufacturers to ensure the integration of high-quality sensors into their vehicles.

For instance, in March 2024, General Motors announced a partnership with Bosch to develop and supply advanced sensors for its next generation of vehicles. This partnership aims to leverage Bosch’s expertise in sensor technology to enhance GM’s vehicle performance & reliability. This partnership helps OEMs to streamline their supply chains, improve vehicle performance, and meet regulatory standards. Additionally, integration with other vehicle technologies, such as hybrid powertrains and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), further enhances the effectiveness of start-stop systems. As these technologies evolve, they become more cost-effective and appealing to both manufacturers and consumers.
