Honeywell Turbos Boost More Than 25 New Vehicle Launches at Geneva Motor Show

Geneva (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Latest Turbo Technology Redefines Performance, Fuel Efficiency
and Emissions Reduction

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced that its turbo technologies are
featured on more than 25 vehicles launched at the 79th International
Motor Show of Geneva. The company's engine boosting systems are
specified in new applications ranging from 1.4 to 6.0L diesel and
gasoline engines, reflecting the global trend towards turbocharging
as a key enabling technology in delivering both performance and fuel
efficiency.

Among the key gasoline launches, Honeywell's new advanced
gasoline turbocharger technology will equip the revolutionary Fiat
1.4L engine in its Multiair version. The Honeywell MGT 14 features a
totally new wastegate design that exploits new innovations in
materials, bearings and aerodynamics.

On the diesel side, the new Jaguar XF 3.0L V6 engine stands out,
aided by the latest sequential boosting technology from Honeywell.
This system comprises a unique combination of a small VNT(TM) turbo
and a small free-floating turbo coupled with a patented sequential
control technology. It helps Jaguar to produce a staggering 600Nm of
torque on its new XF 3.0L V6 diesel model while reducing fuel
consumption by 12% and CO(2) emissions by 10% compared to its
predecessor. In addition, it allows the Jaguar V6 engine to achieve
performance levels of current V8 diesel engines.

Also launching at Geneva is the Cayenne Diesel, the first ever
diesel passenger vehicle from Porsche. Boosting this high-performance
Porsche engine with torque of 550Nm@2000rpm and peak power of 176kW
or 240bhp@4000rpm is Honeywell's third generation VNT(TM) turbo that
features Rotary Electronic Actuation (REA) as well as a low-nickel
turbine housing. The Honeywell turbocharged Porsche diesel engine
reduces fuel consumption by up to 30% compared to similar gasoline
engines with the same power while at the same time maintaining a
sports-car feel and low-noise profile.

More and more vehicles with small-displacement engines are
adopting Honeywell's third generation small VNT(TM) turbocharging
technology, such as the latest Toyota 1.4L Urban Cruiser equipped
with Honeywell's GTB12, a third generation VNT(TM) turbo featuring
REA and low-nickel turbine housing. The Toyota 1.4L diesel engine
delivers a torque of 205Nm@2000rpm and peak horsepower of 66kW or
90bhp.

"Whether it's gasoline or diesel boosting, Honeywell is at the
forefront of providing turbo technologies that deliver superior
performance for engines big or small," says Alex Ismail, President,
Honeywell Turbo Technologies. "The fact that we are working with all
the major global car makers is testament to our ability to support
customers in every corner of the world as they seek to maintain their
competitive advantage."

As the leading turbocharger developer in the world, Honeywell
expects the global turbocharger segment to grow from 30% of the
overall automotive market to more than 38% by 2013 as automakers look
to boost engines to help increase fuel-efficiency and reduce harmful
exhaust emissions without sacrificing performance.
