Pierburg GmbH electric compressor for turbos

Green Car Congress

The electric compressor fits in well and without any constraints with the proven strategy of downsizing, the company said. In contrast to the conventional exhaust-gas turbocharger, which is powered by the energy of the exhaust gases, the electric version responds immediately thanks to the practically instantaneous build-up of charge pressure.
