With the new Passat VW has also introduced BlueMotion technologies for the first time. The car features an auto start-stop system which automatically switches off the engine when stationary and restarts when accelerator is pressed. The new Passat also features Brake Energy Recuperation which recovers and recycles energy lost during braking, thus conserving fuel and reducing emissions. The car also gets low resistance tyres, low friction mechanicals, lower idling speeds and brake energy regeneration to conserve fuel as well as cut down on emissions.
