Ferrari manufacturer show that their California newest model, is more fuel efficiency. The Ferrari uses a technology that is called High Emotion Low Emissions (Hele), together with the original system of “stop / start”. The car was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show 2010 which took place today.

Actually, the technology is not pointing directly to save fuel consumption. The main target, is reducing CO2 emissions. But to reduce CO2, fuel consumption should be more economical. Hele has additional features or technology saves fuel. With technology, the system stop / start the Ferrari takes 230 milliseconds to start the engine. Therefore, do not change the pattern of driving this car. Features stop / start is specifically designed to facilitate the driver started the engine not only by lifting the foot from the brake pedal, as well as by stepping on the gas pedal (ideal for those who step on the brake with the left foot) or by increasing the tooth through the paddle-shift transmission.

Hele works like an electronic brain that perform various commands work on the components in the car. The cabin of air compressor (AC), fuel pumps, engine fan, and shift the transmission efficiency has been calculated in accordance with the driver’s driving style.

As a result, California’s CO2 emissions is reduced from 299g/km to 270 g / km or 23 percent. Even this system can provide an additional 25Nm of torque if it is necessary.
