Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is planning to increase production of turbochargers.


According to a Japanese press report, the company will invest JPY40bn (EUR255m) expanding production capacity to 7m units.


As manufacturers seek to improve fuel efficiency, tubochargers will increasingly become more prevalent on both petrol and diesel cars.
