Honeywell implements new gasoline turbocharging technology

Honeywell Turbo Technologies just announced that its latest gasoline turbocharging technology will be included on the all-new Fiat Viaggio. Incorporating the latest advances in aerodynamics and bearing systems, Honeywell’s newest gasoline technology delivers significantly improved fuel economy and driving performance in a 30 percent smaller space, lowering the overall system complexity and cost. According to the vice president and general manager, the turbo sales in China will increase by 50 percent within the next five years and many manufacturers worldwide have already confirmed to using their technology. Fuel efficiency is a major theme in today’s society; the amount of fuel consumed versus the distance driven to reach an empty tank is a very conscious thought for most automobile owners. Therefore, a technology that is able to help manufacturers enhance fuel efficiency should be seriously considered.
