Turbocharged Engines and Fuel Efficient Cars

Tags: , , , ,

Repair Shop Websites has found another article that predicts the future of the American automotive consumer.  This article is based off of research such as European trends. It indicates Americans will soon be buying turbocharged engines.

“The success of the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program shows that a consumer appetite exists for fuel efficient options on traditional engine platforms that don’t sacrifice the power, reliability and price that Americans demand,” said David Paja, Vice President, Marketing for Honeywell Turbo Technologies. “For that reason, almost every major automaker has announced plans to broadly introduce turbocharged engines to the U.S. market in the coming years. We anticipate demand for gas and diesel turbocharged engines in the U.S. market may increase from 5 percent today to 25 percent by 2014 and could top 85 percent by 2020.”
