DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 27, 2010 â€“ Fordâ€™s popular fuel-saving technology that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop â€“ a feature found today on the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Ford Escape Hybrid and some Ford cars in Europe â€“ will soon be added to conventional cars, crossovers and SUVs in North America.

Fordâ€™s patented new Auto Start-Stop system for gasoline engines will improve fuel economy for most drivers by at least 4 percent. The gain can be as high as 10 percent for some drivers, depending on vehicle size and usage. It can also reduce tailpipe emissions to zero while the vehicle is stationary or waiting at a stoplight. Ford has more than 244 patents for its Auto Start-Stop technology and will showcase the feature on a concept in January at the North American International Auto Show.
