Ford 2012 new models will use turbochargers developed by Continental Group

Want to know what configuration Ford's new models will have? The at least three-cylinder 1.0-litre direct-injection petrol engine is very eye-catching, and this places very high demands on the turbocharger. The Ford 2012 Focus model, Ford's C-Max and the new Ford B-Max models all use turbochargers developed by Continental AG (Conti).

This also proves that the Continental Group has expanded its business since 2006 and started to develop a turbocharger for gasoline engines. The development has been very successful. It is reported that the turbocharger provided for Ford with a diameter of 38 mm will take full advantage of thermodynamics, giving turbochargers new advantages. For example, inertia can be reduced by minimizing the rotating mass and the sensitivity of the turbocharger can be increased.

In addition, Continental designed the two small valves to enhance the durability of the turbocharger and protect it from damage. One is an exhaust valve and the other is a bypass valve to prevent air from flowing back to avoid compressor surge, extend the life of the turbocharger, and improve the overall performance of the car.
