100 Years of Turbo | | Turbocharging was 100 years young in 2005 – but the dream of its earliest pioneer, Dr Alfred J Büchi, has even more resonance in the 21st century than when he first conceived the concept at Winterthur in Switzerland in 1905.
Today the agenda remains performance based, but in 2005 a new environmental imperative emerged. Here too, turbo has a major role to play in engine downsizing, emissions control and CO2 reduction. It may be 100 years old, but turbocharging truly is a technology fit for the 21st century. |
