Garrett Celebrates STEM Education with +250 Students, Competitions, Family Days & More

From California to India and many locations in between, Garrett research and development centers, plants and offices opened their doors throughout February for students, employees’ families and educators to inspire more passion for STEM-based fields within the next generation of innovators.  As part of the company’s WeCare4 community outreach and sustainability initiative, Garrett hosted nearly 300 students to learn about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Garrett Provides Nearly 2,000 Turbochargers for Critical, High-Tech Ambulances Responding to Coronavirus (COVID-19) Crisis in China

More than 1,900 turbochargers were assembled and delivered within four days from Garrett Motion’s Wuhan, China plant to Jiangling Motors Co. (JMC) for the continued manufacturing of life-saving “negative pressure” ambulances, which are used to aid Wuhan and relevant cities suffering from the coronavirus epidemic.  “We are very proud of our employees,” said Garrett President and CEO Olivier Rabiller.

Garrett Turbo Tech Supports Europe’s 2020 Car of the Year Winner – the Peugeot 208

ROLLE, Switzerland, March 2, 2020 – Garrett Motion Inc. (NYSE: GTX), a leading differentiated technology provider into the automotive industry, is celebrating its contributions to today’s announced European Car of the Year winner for 2020, the Peugeot 208.

Garrett turbo solutions help improve powertrain performance and fuel economy and help reduce emissions versus a non-turbocharged equivalent.

The Case for Electric Turbo to Optimize Performance, Efficiency in Advanced Hybrid Powertrains

While much is being made of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), IHS Markit is predicting that new 48-volt mild hybrids will reach sales volumes of just under 25 million vehicles per year, which is more than that of conventional hybrids (roughly 10 million units) and battery electric vehicles (roughly 7 million) combined.

One of the key enablers of the growth in new hybridized powertrains is the electric turbocharger, or “E-Turbo.”

Garrett’s Variable Geometry Technology (VNT) Leading the Global Gasoline Powertrain Landscape Transformation

Today, automakers are focused on the low carbon benefits of electrification, hybridization and optimizing gasoline powertrain efficiency in order to meet ever-more stringent global emissions standards.

Garrett’s variable nozzle turbine (VNT) technology, which was originally developed for turbocharged diesel applications, has now been redesigned for higher temperature gasoline engines.

Ultra-Efficient Clean Diesel Platforms Can Benefit Greatly from Garrett’s Downsized, High-Temperature VNT Boosting Technology

As OEMs seek ways to improve their vehicles and further excite consumers, many are optimizing the efficiency of the engine by using turbo platforms designed for 870°C versus the conventional 830°C.

Garrett’s latest VNT turbo advancements are boosting engine performance and delivering more power and better responsiveness, while improving fuel efficiency and reducing NOx.
