The compressor wheel is being driven by hot exhaust gases coming out of the exhaust manifold. A wastegate opens to regulate the compressor drive power by letting excess exhaust gases escape through the exhaust pipe. Sodium-filled exhaust valves are designed for the higher combustion temperatures of the turbo system.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024

The markets of France, Italy and Spain have exhibited different trends in 2024. With fewer petrol options available, and MHEVs closely aligned to internal-combustion engine ( ICE ) technology, it is logical that registrations of pure petrol would suffer. In October, MHEVs increased their registrations by 63.1%, to 23,331 units.
