Blue motion the great technology by Volkswagen
Blue motion is a technology introduced by Volkswagen in 2006. Blue motion is a trademark for certain cars produced by Volkswagen with an importance on superior fuel efficiency. It was used for its Volkswagen Golf, Polo and Passat models. It is related with all products and technologies that make a Volkswagen automobile more efficient. The ideal importance of Blue motion technology is to reduce the emissions and protect the environment. The main motivation behind the innovation of Blue motion technology is to provide environmental friendly automobiles for all. Blue motion technology is based on the interaction of certain innovations such as recuperation, the start- stop system and Gearshift indicator. The main objective of Blue motion technology is to reduce the carbon emission to the environment without any compromise in power and fuel efficiency.
Volkswagen Passat with Blue motion technology
Volkswagen Passat introduced with Blue motion technology is one of the cleanest and most energy efficient car. The main technologies used in Blue motion Passat are given below.
Auto start-stop system: Auto start-stop system helps to shutdown and restarts the engine automatically. With this technology, when you take your foot off from the clutch, it automatically turns off the engine. In the same way when you depress the clutch, engine automatically starts up. This feature helps you to trim down the amount of time engine spend idle, so that you can save a good amount of fuel.
Gear Shift indicator: Gearshift indicator is an intelligent system, which recommends the most favorable time to shift the gear. Manually shifting the gear in the right time conserves a large amount of fuel. But with the help of gear shift indicator, you can save significant amount of fuel.
Optimized gear ratio: With the help of manual gearbox, you can enjoy the comfort of automatic transmission. The Dual clutch gearbox and manual gearbox transmission is optimized for a longer ratio, which will help you to do quick and accurate gear change. This ensures high fuel efficiency and low carbon emission.
Brake energy Recuperation: Brake energy recuperation is an innovative way to generate electricity, each time when you push the car brake. Every time you apply the brake, a kinetic energy is produced. With brake energy recuperation, the kinetic energy gets converted to electricity. The generated electricity will get stored in the battery and this electricity can be used for the further movement of the car.
