SKF said Thursday it has signed a three-year contract worth around SEK34M with Valeo to supply SKF Rotor Positioning Bearings for the new i-StARS, Valeos stop-start system.
MAIN FACTS:
-i-StARS automatically cuts off the vehicle's engine when slowing down under 8 km/h, e.g when stopping for a red light. The system enables further reduction in CO2 emissions and even less fuel consumption compared to the first generation StARS.
-i-StARS will initially be used with both manual and automated manual transmissions to equip the new diesel engine family, e-HDi, for the Citroen and Peugeot brands.
-Deliveries will start during the third quarter this year.
