Turbo engines return as automakers chase efficiency rules
Turbocharging is now standard on almost half of US cars sold, reflecting how automakers have leaned on older technology to meet efficiency standards.
Turbocharging, a technology associated with car design from the 1980s, has reemerged as a mainstream feature in the US auto market, according to NYT Business.
The outlet reports that turbo engines are now standard in almost half of all cars sold in the United States, with automakers increasingly adopting them to support efficiency improvements.
NYT Business links the shift largely to the need to comply with vehicle efficiency standards, pushing manufacturers to use turbocharging as a practical path toward better performance per mile.
