They charge more quickly and deliver energy in bursts, making them a better fit with devices that need instant peak power delivery, such
as electric turbochargers, power steering and active roll - control systems.
Not exact matches
Continuing with its reintroduction of in - line six - cylinder engines, the new CLS53 features both a conventional exhaust gas - driven
turbocharger as well
as an
electric compressor.
Cars with affordable base engines might not receive the feature, nor will plug - in models
as an
electric motor can fill in the torque hole while a
turbocharger spools up, obviating the need for an
electric turbo.
As you'd expect, with the help of an
electric motor and
turbochargers, the Turbo S E-Hybrid has a massive amount of torque; the two motors endow it with 627 lb ft. With a boost strategy taken from the 918 Spyder — even though that was a naturally aspirated, lightweight hypercar — the S E-Hybrid generates its peak torque at 1400rpm.
With two conventional
turbochargers positioned in the engine's vee, a third is positioned to feed air into the engine at lower engine speeds, and rather than be driven by exhaust gases
as per the other two turbos, it is driven by a 7kw
electric motor.
The hybrid propulsion system (V6 1.6 turbo gasoline engine, two
electric engines driving the front axle, another one driving the rear axle — MGU - K, and one more, called MGU - H, virtually driving the
turbocharger electrically so no need to rely on excess exhaust gases
as until now) from Formula 1 provide a fascinating combination of performance and efficiency.
When the
electric motors kick in, power delivery comes on
as if from a
turbocharger, roundly but forcefully.
Van Meel also revealed that the M division is investigating the possibility of electrification for its future range,
as well
as the introduction of
electric turbochargers as a way of improving throttle response.
As with other SPA Volvos, it can be had with a
turbocharger,
turbocharger and supercharger, or a hybrid that uses the combustion engine (or
electric motor) to power the front wheels and a motor, only, for the rear.
Electric vehicles are more cost - effective to develop, and branching out into high - performance variants won't require the same level of time and effort (or extra
turbochargers and reciprocating parts)
as high - output petrol engines.
Using the same 4.0 - litre V8 diesel engine
as the Bentley Bentayga, its twin
turbochargers are further boosted by an
electric supercharger for instantaneous power.
That's where the
electric motor comes in — think of its
as sort of a substitute for a
turbocharger that instead of cramming more fuel in, effectively reduces fuel requirements, while still yielding more total power.
According to the automaker, «This innovation
as well
as the intelligent charging via an
electric auxiliary compressor and an exhaust gas
turbocharger all have the same goal: to enhance the hallmark AMG performance and driving dynamics, while at the same time reducing fuel consumption and emissions.»
Its performance is also
as dynamic
as that of a V8,
as the new six - cylinder in - line engine comes with an especially intelligent form of turbocharging: assisted by the ISG at start - off, the
electric auxiliary compressor (eZV) guarantees immediate high torque when driving off and accelerating, bridging the time before the large exhaust
turbocharger cuts in.
