In implementing this 50% downsizing by swept volume, the research team delivered zero degradation in driveability, performance or acceleration. Earlier post.). The HyBoost concept is based on a 2009 Ford Focus in which a 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine has been replaced with a 1.0L three-cylinder EcoBoost engine.

RegEnBoost integrates the three devices into a powertrain electrical power network (PEPN), which also incorporates a DC to DC converter and an enhanced lead acid battery, optimized for fast energy storage and release. No matter how low the engine revs, the 2 kW electric supercharger remains highly responsive and extremely fast acting.

to eliminate turbo lag—in support of aggressive engine downsizing. The system can operate without a wastegate, using electrical energy storage to prepare for the next acceleration event. This takes advantage of recent developments in electric machine design, power electronics circuitry, and energy storage.

This results in a range of system level requirements from different manufacturers, dictated by vehicle targets and other issues such as battery state-of-charge and energy storage capability. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C.
