Market Trends and the Role of Electric Boosting

Market Drivers

Main driver is legislative (global trend)

Customers expect economical cars with better performance!

Industry trend towards engine downsizing

Source: ICCT, Global Passenger Vehicle Standards, 2011

Conventional (Mechanical) Systems

Conventional turbochargers and superchargers can provide boost, but they have
inherent drawbacks.

For extreme downsizing, single-turbo systems will not be capable of producing

enough boost pressure whilst maintaining acceptable transient response.

One adopted solution is multi-stage boosting systems

Electric Superchargers (eSuperchargers)

With very fast response time, eSuperchargers are very effective in addressing the
low-speed turbo lag issues associated with downsized engines.

Electric Turbochargers (FETT)

A old concept made possible only by Aeristechs motor and control technology

CONFIDENTIAL

Products Electric Supercharger

What is it?

An electric compressor to feed the engine and remove turbo

lag.

Supplements the existing (larger) turbocharger.

Cheaper and simpler than a conventional supercharger.

Why?

More power from smaller engines less CO2

Less revolutionary than Full Electric near-term market

Installed on a 1L range extender engine for Mahle

increased power 40%

Installed on a conventional 2L engine for Tier1

reduced turbo lag 50% and enables extreme

downsizing greater than 60%

Very compact

Minimal changes to engine and vehicle

CONFIDENTIAL

Products Full Electric Turbocharger

What is it?
