SuperTurbo Technologies and Linamar Corporation have entered into an exclusive agreement to bring SuperTurbo, a transformational technology, to market.
According to a press statement issued by SuperTurbo, the technology improves the efficiency of diesel, hydrogen, and natural gas internal combustion engines, while significantly reducing harmful emissions.
McLaren Engineering, a division of Linamar, will produce prototype units for durability testing. Later, the company will manufacture and test SuperTurbos for the global market.
The SuperTurbo is a mechanically driven turbocharger that provides an 'on-demand' boost to internal combustion engines, which provides the ability to precisely control and balance boost pressure and air-fuel ratio. It supports 7.5-litre to 16-litre internal combustion engines for both on-highway and construction applications, where increasingly strict emission and CO2 regulations require advanced air management systems. Leading global engine OEMs continue to demonstrate a strong interest in the SuperTurbo as a critical component of their next-generation engine architectures to comply with China 7, Euro 7 and California Air Resource Board/EPA 2024/2027 emissions requirements, the statement said.
Mark Herbst, CEO, SuperTurbo, said, 'SuperTurbo's partnership with Linamar brings our company one step closer to commercialising a technology that can significantly reduce emissions, increase engine performance, and lower fuel costs relative to competing engine boosting technologies. Linamar is a world-class manufacturing enterprise and an ideal partner for our company as it progresses into the critically important stage of delivering a commercial-ready product to market. We look forward to leveraging Linamar's vast global resources to manufacture and launch new products globally.'
Linda Hasenfratz, CEO, Linamar, said, 'We consider SuperTurbo, a leader in bringing this technology to market, which will have a positive impact on our environment.'
In addition to the Linamar partnership, SuperTurbo recently announced that the company completed their collaboration with AVL List GmbH to investigate the hydrogen internal combustion engine's carbon and emissions reduction possibilities (H2ICE).
