The paper reports, a posteriori, on the project StARS targeting a simple 12V belt-driven starter-alternator to realize a Start-Stop function. All aspects of the development started in 1999 are covered: The initial motivation, the Pricing and Design-to-cost approach, the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) product positioning, a very first field-test and corresponding customer feedback and the final product design are covered. The paper will close with a current status and performances of the product in series production since October 2004. Finally, the question of the right benchmark concerning Hybrid systems and the today's situation are discussed and the paper concluded.
