ETH Zürich Developing Pneumatic Hybrid Engine; Approaches Hybrid-Electric Performance at Lower Cost

Green Car Congress

To keep the maximum power and thus satisfy the consumer’s drivability demands, the engine is highly supercharged by a turbocharger—which exploits the exhaust gas enthalpy as an energy source, and which boosts the to the desired levels. This also halves frictional losses and increases the engine’s average efficiency. Dönitz et al.

Bentley introduces its first diesel: Bentayga Diesel with 48V system & electric supercharger

Green Car Congress

Variable-geometry, sequential twin-scroll turbochargers are powered by the exhaust gases, while a third electric supercharger—powered by Bentley’s innovative 48V system—spools up within 30 microseconds to eliminate turbo lag. The next-generation 4.0-liter liter V8 engine is mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.
