Vehicles with turbochargers will account for 48% of annual global sales by 2021, up nine percentage points from this year, according to a forecast from Transportation Systems’s Honeywell. The trend to bigger engine sizes in China and Europe, as powertrains are adapted for increasingly strict emissions regulations, and eventual right-sizing of engines is expected to support electric boosting products, supporting an industry shift from 12- to 48-volt battery systems.The report suggests electrics and hybrids will grow from three million vehicles in 2016 to 16 million in 2021, with 46% of the electrified category being "mild hybrids" of which 70% will have multiple turbo systems.
