Award-Winning E-Turbo Technology
Garrett is pioneering E-Turbo technology to deliver superior performance, fuel economy, and emissions, by integrating state-of-the-art, ultra-high-speed electric motors and power electronics into its turbocharger product families.
INCREASED POWER & EFFICIENCY
Electric Turbo Innovation
Garrett’s Electrified Turbos (E-Turbos) show exciting potential and equal applicability in both light & commercial vehicles, in all fuels such as gasoline, diesel and natural gas (CNG).
What is an Electric Turbocharger? Exploring the Power and Efficiency of Garrett’s E-Turbo
The electric turbocharger, or E-Turbo, isn’t just an enhancement to traditional turbocharging systems; it’s a complete reimagining, offering unparalleled benefits in efficiency and performance for hybrid vehicles. Let’s delve into the mechanics, advantages, and environmental impact of Garrett’s E-Turbo, setting new standards for sustainable high performance.
Garrett Motion Wins 2021 Automotive News PACE Award for Industry-First Electric Turbo
Garrett’s state-of-the-art E-Turbo has been recognized as a superior innovation with an Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award, a first for electric turbochargers. World-class Garrett engineers successfully overcame the many challenges in thermal management, energy recovery, compact packaging and high-volume and low-cost design to develop the E-Turbo, wowing the PACE judge panel to earn the award in September 2021.
Light Vehicle Gasoline E-Turbo
Garrett has created multiple E-Turbo demonstration vehicles that are successful representations of how an electrified boosting solution can increase engine power and torque while allowing the engine to operate at Lambda 1, providing energy recuperation to the vehicle’s electrical system.
Electrifying a turbocharger removes the constraint of needing a small turbine with excellent efficiency to drive the compressor at low flow rates. Instead, it allows us to right-size the turbine for Lambda 1 rated power.
Lambda 1 (or stoichiometric air/fuel ratio) is key to increased efficiency.

Powertrains must be hybridized to meet the fuel economy and emission targets
E-Turbo provides an integrated, compact and balanced solution that delivers the additional functionality of Energy Recuperation (Efficient energy Management / Positive effect on state of charge SOC). Any penalty in inertia can, therefore, be more than compensated for by an electric motor and the addition of a wide-range Compressor to improve low-end response and extend high-end performance simultaneously.
