US: BorgWarner predicts 30 growth in gasoline-engine turbocharging market by 2011

摘要

THE demand for turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines is expected to increase by 30% over the next five years, say industry experts and researchers at powertrain component manufacturer BorgWarner. The rise will be driven by advances in turbocharger design, manufacturing and materials. According to Roger Wood, president and general manager at BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems, gasoline-engine turbocharging is not only focused on increasing engine output, but also on obtaining exceptional engine performance and fuel economy. In addition to conventional turbochargers, variable turbine geometry (VTG) technology will also play a significant role in gasoline engines, Wood added.
