Honeywell turbocharger technology developed in India is fitted to the 1.5L diesel engine in the Honda Amaze, a car described as ‘India’s most fuel efficient car’.
Honeywell currently supplies its turbochargers to many local and global OEMs present in India. Its India plant also serves as an export hub for customers spread throughout the globe. Honeywell turbos help global engine platforms achieve EU4, EU5 and EU6 emission standards.
Milind Godbole, managing director for Honeywell Turbo Technologies India, said: “We established our manufacturing facility in Pune in 2005, and have expanded operations to include product development and testing activities for both global and local automotive applications at its technology center in Bangalore. Today, India also serves as Honeywell’s global platform development center for small- and medium-sized turbocharger applications, a rapidly growing part of the Indian automotive industry.”
