Honeywell Turbocharging Systems announced it will be offering an electrical Garrett® supercharger, that will carry the Turbopac™ trade name. The Turbopac supercharger is a motor-driven device that enables immediate engine boost in response to the driver pressing the accelerator.

This new product is said to provide faster acceleration, better fuel economy, and an emission reduction.

Under the agreement, Honeywell Turbocharging Systems has the exclusive licensing rights for the manufacturing and marketing of the Dynacharger and Turbopac products on a worldwide basis.
