This has meant, in August 2007, all MINI versions will be equipped with standard with Brake Energy Regeneration systems, function auto start-stop and display of the switching Point (each explained after the jump). sounds Greek? Well, simply put, CO 2 emissions were reduced by 7, 2-11, 9% while consumption, between 6.5 and 12.8% (depending on engine) .
