SKF signs a long-term contract with Valeo for supply to the new i-StARS.
SKF has signed a three-year contract with Valeo to supply SKF rotor positioning bearings for the new i-StARS, Valeos stop-start system. i-StARS automatically cuts off the vehicle’s engine when slowing down under 8 km/h, eg, 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.
The SKF solution provides a powerful, accurate, repeatable and durable magnetic field making it possible for the control unit to receive data on the positioning of the shaft which enables the system to stop and re-start the engine at the correct times in a smooth way.
“Working in close cooperation with Valeo, and using our engineering knowledge we have developed solutions to support their innovative and patented stop-start systems. The industry is demanding new technologies and we constantly develop new offerings to meet these demands,” says Tryggve Sthen, president SKF automotive division.
Deliveries will start during the third quarter this year.
