2009 Toyota iQ at 55 mpgUS combined on the NEDC. Just one of the latest vehicles to use a Honeywell turbo to boost performance, fuel economy while lowering emissions.
Geneva, Switzerland -- Since our last look at “Turbocharging – A transportation technology for ever higher FE (cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6848)”, the promise is beginning to be realized. Honeywell’s own latest turbo technology is being featured in more than 25 new vehicles launched at the 79th International Motor Show of Geneva. The company's latest turbo’s are installed in vehicles with engines ranging from 1.4 to 6.0L including both diesel and gasoline engines.
Among key gasoline launches, Honeywell's latest turbo technology will equip the Fiat 1.4L engine in its Multiair. The Honeywell MGT 14 features a totally new wastegate design that exploits new innovations in materials, bearings and aerodynamics.
On the diesel side, the new Jaguar XF 3.0L V6 engine stands out, aided by the latest sequential boosting technology from Honeywell. This system comprises a unique combination of a small VNT(TM) turbo and a small free-floating turbo coupled with a patented sequential control technology. It helps Jaguar to produce a staggering 600Nm of torque on its new XF 3.0L V6 diesel model while reducing fuel consumption by 12% compared to its predecessor.
Also launching at Geneva is the Cayenne Diesel, the first ever diesel passenger vehicle from Porsche. Boosting this high-performance Porsche engine is Honeywell's third generation VNT(TM) turbo that features Rotary Electronic Actuation (REA) as well as low-nickel turbine housing.
More and more vehicles with small-displacement engines are adopting Honeywell's third generation small VNT(TM) turbocharging technology, such as the latest Toyota 1.4L diesel equipped iQ using Honeywell's GTB12, a third generation VNT(TM) turbo featuring REA and low-nickel turbine housing.
"Whether it's gasoline or diesel boosting, Honeywell is at the forefront of providing turbo technologies that deliver superior performance for engines big or small," says Alex Ismail, President, Honeywell Turbo Technologies. "The fact that we are working with all the major global car makers is testament to our ability to support customers in every corner of the world as they seek to maintain their competitive advantage."
As the leading turbocharger developer in the world, Honeywell expects the global turbocharger segment to grow from 30% of the overall automotive market to more than 38% by 2013 as automakers look to boost engines to help increase fuel-efficiency and reduce harmful exhaust emissions.
