What Are The Long Term Affects Of Start-Stop Technology On Engines?

Start-stop technology can give benefits to the fuel economy from internal combustion engines in urban situations, while reducing emissions in heavy traffic. But will the durability of engines be affected in the long term?

Stop-start is a system on most modern cars that cuts the engine when the car is stationary in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. In hybrid cars, the same system may also shut down the combustion engine when the car is cruising at low throttle loads, when descending gradients and when decelerating from higher speeds. The engine starts again when the clutch is engaged or the brake is released, or when the driver is ready to move or accelerate again.
