Muamer Hodzic February 7, 2008
The smart fortwo mhd (micro hybrid drive) 71 bhp petrol version scores an excellent ratings in terms of fuel consumption, exhaust and noise emissions from the German “à–ko-Trend” environmental research institute.
The start-stop function of the smart fortwo mhd came in for particular praise from the à–ko-Trend institute. This feature uses each idling phase – at traffic lights, level crossings or in stop-and-go traffic, for example – to shut down the engine completely. As soon as the driver releases the brake pedal, the engine restarts automatically and the journey can continue immediately without a noticeable delay.”That works perfectly smoothly in practice, providing for a pleasant calm and quiet while the car is stationary and reducing fuel consumption.”
