Measures.

Technical measures

The CO₂ efficiency of the BlueMotion models and BlueMotion Technology packages is achieved through the perfect interplay of engine, gearbox, aerodynamics and tyres. The difference is achieved through the use of some obvious and some not so obvious design innovations.

The principal measures for reducing fuel consumption

• Optimised engine management with modified software
• Start-stop system
• Recuperation (brake energy regeneration)
• Reduced idle speed
• Longer gear ratios for the upper gears
• Gear recommendation to help you select the most efficient gear
• Improved aerodynamics for lower aerodynamic drag (Cd value)
• Tyres optimised to reduce rolling resistance
• Flow-forming steel wheels
