Continental Group revealed that it will supply turbochargers for Ford's new three-cylinder 1.0-liter direct-injection gasoline engine, which will be installed first in the Ford 2012 Focus model and subsequently in the Ford C-Max and the new Ford. B-Max models.

Udo Schwerdel, head of Continental Group Turbocharging Systems, said: "By minimizing the mass reduction of rotating mass, fully utilizing and optimizing thermodynamics, we have developed a turbocharger with a very responsive sense. The turbocharger's The turbine has a diameter of 38 mm and the discharge speed is up to 240,000 revolutions per minute (4 thousand revolutions per second).

In order to prevent the turbocharger pressure from increasing drastically when the output power of the engine increases, Continental installed an exhaust valve on its turbocharger. In addition, the mainland has a bypass valve on the turbocharger. Prevents the compressed air from flowing back into the compressor. In this way, the compressor surge phenomenon is well avoided and the turbocharger is protected from damage.

The main tires, brake systems, vehicle body stability control systems, engine injection systems, tachometers, etc. of Continental AG (Conti) were developed to develop gasoline turbochargers in 2006.
