Efficient Dynamics
EfficientDynamics is a set of technologies that are defined by BMW in its products to maximise performance, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce fuel consumption.[1]
- Common rail injection for diesel engines.[2]
- Stop start engine[3]
- brake regeneration [4]
- air vent control [5]
- electric power steering[6]
Common rail injection
BMW's common rail injection involves managing the fuel injection at every stage from pre injection to delivery with one common rail. This improves fuel delivery and power delivery.[7]
Stop start engine
The stop start switch automatically switch of engine when the car is idling or in neutral gear. This reduces fuel consumption wasted at idle. The engine automatically switch on when the brake pedal is let go.
Brake regeneration
When the brake is press, kinetic energy is transferred as energy stored in a battery. This helps lower fuel consumption.
Air vent control
The air vents in front of the radiator grille will open up to allow for air to cool.they will automatically close if its not in used, reducing air resistance and fuel consumption.
Electric power steering
The power steering is only active when the steering wheel is turning. If it is kept in a constant location or place, the electric power is inactive.
