Introduction of Micro Hybrid Technology in India
Micro Hybrid Technology is one of the latest technologies that has recently introduced in the Indian car industry by Mahindra & Mahindra in association with a leading auto component manufacturer, Bosch.
The unique, smart, pocket friendly, and fuel efficient FuelSmart system with micro hybrid technology is the first such technology in the country. The system is directly tested on direct diesel injection engines loaded in the Scorpio M2DI and Bolero SLX BS3.
The unique, smart, pocket friendly, and fuel efficient FuelSmart system with micro hybrid technology is the first such technology in the country. The system is directly tested on direct diesel injection engines loaded in the Scorpio M2DI and Bolero SLX BS3.
Overview
The pioneering micro hybrid technology is relevant to India. It was actually designed keeping in mind the heavy traffic conditions in Indian cities. Though it has started its way from Scorpio and Bolero, it is affordable and can be fitted to the entire range of car models available in the country, thereby making a significant difference to fuel consumption.
The new technology detects the car movement and enables the engine to switch off automatically when it is idle, in neutral or at a complete stop. This system plays a vital role when driving on congested city roads. When the car is stopped at a traffic signal or trapped in a traffic jam, the engine turns off because during that time no power is required. Just before shutting down the engine, an indicator will blink on the instrumentation cluster, indicating the driver that the engine is about to turn off. Thereafter, the car engine starts seamlessly when the car driver presses the clutch.

Thereafter, the car engine starts seamlessly when the car driver presses the clutch.
Working
The entire system is based on a simple principle of not burning the fuel when the car is not in use. The system detects the motion of the car and automatically stops when the car halts. It changes the engine to neutral position and then release the clutch pedal which eventually stops the engine after 10 seconds. Car instrumentation cluster has an indication for the system that blinks till the engine switches on and then the light is displayed till the engine remains off. As soon as the signal turns green, just by pressing the clutch pedal, engine restarts and the cluster indication turns off.
Advantages
This new system has great advantages in the present day scenario of the car industry. It will also prove to be one of the best technologies for future generations of cars entering the Indian car market.
The key advantages of this innovative technology are fuel efficiency and fuel conservation, which helps to reduce the running cost of a car and also helps to reduce emissions or car pollutants. Lower amount of emissions or carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will mitigate the adverse effects of global warming.
In addition, the system also monitors the health of the car battery, safety technologies, and even the car engine temperature. It will also help the government to achieve its sustainable energy goals to protect environment and maintain the ecological balance.
