IN the global battle against carbon emissions, carmakers have made considerable progress in recent years by boosting the fuel efficiency of their internal combustion engines thanks to gadgets like turbochargers, industry officials and analysts have said.
Although it may be an odd-sounding name for a green technology, the turbocharger raises fuel efficiency levels by up to 40 per cent and is now included in 75 per cent of new cars in Europe. That could rise to nearly 90 per cent by 2015.
