The well -known Volvo Auto Concert has tested the S60 sedan, which is equipped with a new engine. A two -liter engine with a capacity of 450 liters was installed as a power unit for this car.With. It is important to note that the new engine is distinguished by the presence of triple turbocharges.
As representatives of the Swedish automaker noted, a model with such a powerful power unit was created in a single copy and can be considered experimental.
According to Volvo representatives, such a productive power plant was created with Polestar, which is engaged in improving serial models of machines, as well as suppliers of DENSO and AVL spare parts.
You can notice that the power unit related to the Drive-E family is equipped with two Borg Warner turbochargers and a specialized electric vanning valeo produced by Valeo. It is important to add that the injection with an electric drive is connected to work at a time when the motor operates at low speeds, which allows us to eliminate the well -known “turbolag” phenomenon.

As experts suggest, the first machines with such productive power units will be charged versions of the models from Polestar.
It is important to supplement that earlier the German Audi Audi Audi showed a motor with an electric supercharger.
