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.
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.
Having shown the Audi RS5 TDI concept with the technology, Hackenberg confirms that Audi plans to
use electric turbochargers on future models.
Over the next few years, we'll see Audi cars with touchscreens replacing all buttons,
electric turbochargers under the hood, and some forms of autonomous technology.
One other potential product strategy could be for the production RX - Vision to arrive in 2020 with a new generation of rotary engine, and then for a higher - performance version to overcome the technology's inherit torque deficit by using 48V -
based electric turbochargers.
This one's a four - seater — most likely with a traditional front - engine layout — powered by a 600 - plus horsepower engine that uses
E-Booster electric turbocharger technology.
When the car accelerates, the stored energy can either flow back to the MGU at the front axle or to the
innovative electric turbocharger, depending on the operating strategy.
Now reports are surfacing that the Bugatti Chiron would be able to produce a groundbreaking 1500 hp with the help
of electric turbochargers.
It will be interesting to see how the industry's long - running master of hybrid cars and now plug - ins moves to adopt 48 - volt technology for hybrid motors and
for electric turbochargers.
A new report from Auto Express details the high - po RS4 along with its RS5 coupe variant, saying that these new models will be powered by a 3.0 - liter V - 6 with
an electric turbocharger to make for around 480 hp.
However, unlike the Veyron, the new version will use direct injection and two
electric turbochargers, which replace two of the four units.
New however, is
an electric turbocharger that converts exhaust heat into electric energy via a flywheel energy storage system; a turbine in the exhaust spins a generator.
In a departure from past RX models, however, Mazda may be considering to pair
an electric turbocharger with the engine for increased power.
The electric turbocharger brings about another advantage; it uses parts of the surplus energy from the exhaust system to generate electricity and either stores it in the high - voltage lithium - ion battery as part of recuperation or provides additional drive power by feeding it to an additional electric motor.
A brilliant new hybrid system has been produced with
an electric turbocharger allowing the internal combustion engine to store energy converted from heat.
Switching the car to Sport helps smooth out the acceleration, albeit at some small cost to fuel economy; in Sport, the motor functions more like
an electric turbocharger.
This extra energy is stored in a flywheel storage system and can be used at the MGU at the front axle or to
the electric turbocharger.
The thermal efficiency of the combustion engine with
electric turbocharger (MGU - H) in conjunction with the electric motor on the crankshaft (MGU - K) will be more than 40 %.
Outside the US, for 2018 you can get Audi's fabulous V6 diesel engine with a 48 - volt system running
an electric turbocharger, offering hybrid operation and almost 400 hp.
In other words, the motor is as
an electric turbocharger that boosts the Civic's gas engine from 85 horsepower to 93 horsepower when needed.
Actually, strike that, because two of the turbochargers will be powered by electricity, not exhaust gases, therefore the term «
electric turbochargers» should be better - suited.
There'll be a mild hybrid system on offer that will utilise a 48 - volt electrical system and
an electric turbocharger, and we wouldn't be at all surprised to see a seven - seater version on the menu too.
The electric turbocharger accelerates to 70,000 rpm within 300 milliseconds, ensuring an extremely spontaneous reaction from the engine.
