Eaton Supercharger Debuts in China

This latest Eaton supercharger application will be the first on a Chinese-produced vehicle.

The Eaton supercharger is a high-technology boosting device that pumps more air into an engine to increase torque and power when needed.

Its quick response eliminates the lag of many competing systems, and it allows vehicle manufacturers to replace larger engines with smaller, more efficient engines that provide better fuel economy and reduced emissions.

Eaton’s Roots-type supercharger will appear on several Chery vehicles. Roots-type superchargers also used to improve fuel efficiency because they provide the option of using smaller, more fuel efficient engines to achieve desired driving characteristics.

Eaton is the worldwide leader in supercharger solutions for small displacement engines for customers in markets around the world. Eaton supercharger technology has been selected by numerous premium global automakers and can be found on these vehicles: Audi A6, S4 and S5, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Cadillac CTS-V, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid SUV, Jaguar XKR, XFR, XJR and Range Rover Sport and a version of the fourth-generation Nissan Micra.
