Pretty neat, automatic EOC :

The automated gearbox is coupled to a start-stop system, which includes a freewheel function. In overrun mode, the vehicle switches the engine off. The vehicle then rolls without the engine running. Development engineers call this gliding - alluding to the silent flight of a glider.
Besides the 1L, are there any other aluminum-(mono?)-block diesel engines that were made for cars?
