In Europe, which is a major market for turbochargers, Imperial College London (ICL) and the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group have a history of nearly 20 years of joint research, people-to-people exchanges and other activities. Amid calls for decarbonization and the electrification of passenger cars, a joint research organization (UTC: University Technical Centre) was established with ICL in 2019 to intensively carry out innovative and targeted research. In this report, we describe the results of our research with the university that contributed to the improvement of MHI turbocharger technology, the activities of the newly established organization and our involvement in the turbocharger business of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger, Ltd. (MHIET).
