The aim was to investigate environmental consequences and the effects on the motors of larger diesel-driven vehicles of initiating start/stop systems. Another aim was to produce ideas for the design of a prototype in an effort to instigate production in a Danish firm. Experiments were carried out where start/stop systems were installed in vehicles in use. Results showed that these systems could be economically advantageous and payback would take place over three years under certain conditions. As the use of start/stop systems has already been patented abroad it is recommended that the idea is not taken into use in relation to the Danish production but that possibilities for using the American product are seriously examined, particulary as this could contribute to reduction of air pollution by diesel driven road vehicles in Denmark.
