The need to reduce CO 2 emissions is leading to downsized engines, heavily boosted by turbo- or supercharging. But while these engines easily reach high peak power and torque figures, they struggle to provide the required low-speed response. —Torotrak engineering manager David Burtt, co-author of the paper.
