The Yangcheng Evening News recently reported that major manufacturers have been upgrading their passenger vehicles with turbochargers, double–clutch and hybrid technologies to achieve better power-efficiency. It goes on to point out that many of the new vehicles launched at the Auto Guangzhou show were equipped with turbocharged engines and dual-clutch gearboxes resulting in significant advantages in reducing emissions, increasing performance and lowering fuel consumption — a key concern for consumers.

The article quotes David Paja, Vice President and General Manager for Honeywell Transportation Systems in China and India saying: “With increasing concerns over air pollution in China, the government is setting more stringent emissions standards for vehicles and implementing higher targets for fuel economy. This growing acceptance of turbocharging has triggered a strong increase in turbo penetration in passenger vehicles, whose sales have grown by 50% this year. This is mainly because turbocharging can help improve fuel economy by up to 20%, which is a key decision-driver for consumers. Translating into ROI, this means consumers can get their money back from gas savings within two to three years.”

The long-established Yangcheng Evening News remains one of the most popular in the Guangzhou–Pearl River Delta area that it serves, and its influence extends nationally. It covers a wide range of areas including business and financial news, lifestyle and health. It is a daily publication with a circulation of 1,790,000.
