The automobile industry is all about evolution. Brands continue to experiment with vehicular designs and features to keep buyer interest intact and improve vehicle performance. In a similar stint, Volkswagen, one of the major auto brands, introduced BlueMotion. The auto brand struck gold with the advanced system. Unlike other car features, the VW BlueMotion isn\u2019t a solo thing – rather a whole series of technologies combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what exactly is the Volkswagen BlueMotion and what does it do? We will do a detailed overview of the VW BlueMotion and see how the advanced system stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is VW BlueMotion Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"volkswagen

The VW BlueMotion comprises a series of technologies that function to enhance performance in more ways than one. The system works to maximise the miles a vehicle can travel on a full tank. Additionally, it contributes to better and reduced exhaust emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automakers introducing new car tech<\/a> is something that continues to intrigue buyers. It also enhances vehicle performance and provides a better driving experience. The VW BlueMotion technology with all its features remains a great addition to the brand\u2019s vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VW BlueMotion Technology Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The technology was introduced in 2006 in Volkswagen Polo Mark 4. Initially, there were two ways to deploy the system. It either came standard with specific models or was offered as an extra package – at times referred to as BlueMotion Tech (BMT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BlueMotion technology was later made available in several Volkswagen models. Some services slightly varied depending on the package and vehicle type and engine. However, others came in all packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the standard VW BlueMotion features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AERODYNAMICS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Auto aerodynamics<\/a> is an important part of vehicle design. These can help with the comfort level and also reduce the fuel economy. Cars with BlueMotion technology come equipped with better aerodynamic changes that help the vehicle better cut through the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major modifications include reprofiled bumpers, lower ride height and tighter panel gaps. Additionally, the rear spoilers and side skirts are hardly noticeable. All these changes contribute to overcoming air resistance, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing air noise in the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENGINE START\/STOP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"the
The advanced system automatically turns the vehicle off when it comes at a halt <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is another way the BlueMotion technology helps save fuel. When the vehicle comes to a halt, the system detects it and automatically turns the engine off. Conversely, when drivers use the clutch, the system detects the motion and turns the engine on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may not be among the major bad fuel consumption reasons<\/a>, nevertheless, a running engine consumes petrol to some extent. The BlueMotion technology halts this fuel consumption. Additionally, it prevents harmful emissions and noise emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRAKE ENERGY RECUPERATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another notable feature of VW BlueMotion is the ability to transfer kinetic energy back to the engine. The recuperation system boosts the alternator output. When drivers press the brake, the alternator effectively charges the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the smart system, less energy is required from the car alternator<\/a> during acceleration. Less load on the engine leads to increased efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE TYRES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"tyres

Worn-out, damaged or older tyres are known to affect the vehicle\u2019s fuel efficiency. VW vehicles with BlueMotion come equipped with a special type of rubber and a unique combination of treads and compounds. All these work together to reduce friction between the tyres and the road surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesser the friction on the road, the less work the car engine has to do to move the vehicle. For VW BMT vehicles or any other, be sure to use the compatible and right types of car tyres<\/a> at all times. These small adjustments enhance fuel efficiency and also ensure vehicular safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TURBOCHARGING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The use of turbochargers<\/a> is one of the major highlights of VW BlueMotion. However, this option came in some of the BMT packages. The availability of turbocharged engines kept an immense amount of power at the drivers\u2019 disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, the less fuel-intensive engine came into play when excess power wasn\u2019t a requirement. All this ensured effective fuel usage as per the drivers\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMPROVEMENTS IN ENGINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"vw

In addition to increasing fuel efficiency, the VW BlueMotion technology focused on reducing harmful emissions. To make this happen, the diesel particulate filters are made better. The improved filters are able to capture large carbon particles that would otherwise break out from the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major improvement is the use of better oxidising catalytic converters<\/a> in BMT vehicles. All these reduce harmful carbon emissions making the vehicles more environment-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is BlueMotion Technology worth it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The VW BlueMotion technology, like many other car modern features, has its set of benefits. The technology comes standard in some models while drivers\u2019 have to buy some features in a package. Although an additional cost, the BMT can be a viable option for saving fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although electric cars<\/a> are a great way of eliminating carbon emissions, the BMT technology can be useful for those who prefer to drive petrol cars. All in all, it comes to the drivers\u2019 preferences and spending power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There you have it, the VW BlueMotion explained in detail along with all its features. The advanced system can be a great way to save fuel and contribute to the environment. Volkswagen does not use the BMT name for newer models. However, drivers can find the BMT tag on the engine destination badge at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
