At 48 volts, a VTES electric supercharger will transform 7kW of battery power into a highly boosted charge of air for downsized gasoline and diesel engines. There will be no torque deficit or other tradeoffs from essential engine downsizing and higher gearing, which now dominates the development of internal combustion engines.

A new project has set the ambitious goal of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 30-40 per cent. Known as the HyBoost project, this two-year research programme announced recently by the Technology Strategy Board, aims to demonstrate a cost-effective, ultra-efficient petrol engine in a C-segment passenger car.

CPT says that the RegEnBoost system enables a typical family-sized car to achieve less than 100 g/km CO 2 with a 1-liter gasoline engine, but when required can offer the same lively performance and in-gear acceleration of a 2-liter naturally aspirated powertrain.
