-- The SuperTurbo(TM) improves internal combustion engines, lowers costs, and reduces harmful emissions SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. ("SuperTurbo") and Linamar Corporation ("Linamar") announced today that they entered into an exclusive agreement to bring the SuperTurbo(TM), a transformational technology, to market. The SuperTurbo(TM) improves the efficiency of diesel, hydrogen, and natural gas internal combustion engines, while significantly reducing harmful emissions. McLaren Engineering, a division of Linamar, will produce prototype units for durability testing. Upon successful completion of testing, under the terms of the exclusive agreement, Linamar will manufacture and test SuperTurbos(TM) for the global market. Logo - https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1527734/STT_LRG_031417_Logo.jpg The SuperTurbo(TM) is a mechanically driven turbocharger that provides "on-demand" boost to internal combustion engines, which provides the ability to precisely control and balance boost pressure and air-fuel ratio. It supports 7.5L to 16L internal combustion engines for both on-highway and construction applications, where increasingly strict emission and CO2 regulations require advanced air management systems. Leading global engine OEMs continue to demonstrate strong interest in the SuperTurbo(TM) as a key component of their next-generation engine architectures to enable compliance with China 7, Euro 7 and California Air Resource Board/EPA 2024/2027 emissions requirements. "SuperTurbo's partnership with Linamar brings our company one step closer to commercializing a technology that can significantly reduce emissions, increase engine performance, and lower fuel costs relative to competing engine boosting technologies," said Mark Herbst, CEO at SuperTurbo. "Linamar is a world-class manufacturing enterprise and an ideal partner for our company as it progresses into the critically important stage of delivering a commercial-ready product to market. We look forward to leveraging Linamar's vast global resources to manufacture and launch new products globally." "We are excited to partner with SuperTurbo to produce prototypes for durability testing of their revolutionary product that significantly reduces emissions of hydrogen, diesel and natural gas internal combustion engines while achieving higher levels of productivity and lowering total cost of ownership for the on-highway and off-highway commercial vehicle market. We consider SuperTurbo a leader in bringing this technology to market which will have a positive impact on our environment," stated Linamar CEO Linda Hasenfratz. In addition to the Linamar partnership, SuperTurbo recently announced that they successfully completed their collaboration with AVL List GmbH ("AVL") to investigate the carbon and emissions reduction possibilities of the hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2ICE). Focusing specifically on commercial vehicle applications, the SuperTurbo(TM) demonstrated the ability to optimize the lambda to lower engine out NOx to less than 1-2 g/kWh over the majority of the engine operating range, increasing efficiency by up to 4% while maintaining rapid, diesel-like transients. About SuperTurbo Technologies, Inc. SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. specializes in the design, development, and commercialization of SuperTurbos(TM) for commercial vehicles for on highway and construction markets. The SuperTurbo(TM) is a mechanically driven turbocharger that allows engine OEMs to control the airflow and EGR for the engine, enabling optimization of both performance and emissions at all operating points. Other benefits include transient cycle efficiency, fuel cost savings, exhaust energy recovery through compounding, particulate reduction, Cold Start/Low NOx improvement, engine down-sizing, down-speeding and improved engine braking.
