TORRANCE/CARPINTERIA, California, February 14, 2000—Honeywell [NYSE:HON] said today that its Turbocharging Systems business enterprise will be offering the first electrical supercharger. The new Garrett™ supercharger will carry the Turbopac™ trade name.
"Turbopac™ will enable us to continue providing our customers with the latest boosting technologies available," said Rob Gillette, Vice President and General Manager, Strategic Growth for Honeywell Turbocharging Systems. "This new product gives our customers another option to maximum engine performance, which includes faster acceleration, savings at the fuel pump and a reduction of emissions."
