Honeywell Turbocharges Chinese Automakers at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show

Shanghai (ots/PRNewswire) -

- World's Fastest Growing Auto Market Looks to Turbocharged
Engines to Deliver Energy Efficiency without Sacrificing Performance

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced that its gasoline and diesel
turbochargers are featured on more than 20 passenger vehicles at the
2009 Shanghai Auto Show, including 15 turbo launches for new
passenger vehicles developed by China's biggest carmakers. The
turbocharged vehicles include diesel and gasoline applications
ranging from 1.3L to 2.0L, reflecting the value of turbochargers in
enabling automakers to downsize their engines to reduce emissions,
deliver performance, and enhance fuel efficiency.

Honeywell announced partnerships with a number of Chinese
automakers, all releasing turbocharged gasoline engines at the
Shanghai Auto Show. The automakers include Brilliance Auto, Shanghai
Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), Chery Automobile, Geely
Automobile, Huatai Automobile, and JAC Motors. In addition, Chery and
JAC announced they would equip their 1.9L diesel engines with
Honeywell's innovative, emissions-reducing variable geometry VNT(TM)
turbochargers, the first passenger vehicles in China to use the
VNT(TM), offering world class performance and up to 40% fuel economy
compared to non-boosted gasoline engines.

"While most of the global automotive industry is slowed by the
global recession, the Chinese market continues to grow. We are
excited to be a part of that growth in partnering with Chinese
automakers to develop more fuel efficient, lower emitting
turbocharged engines," says Alex Ismail, President of Honeywell
Transportation Systems. "As the world leader in turbocharging
technology and an early provider to Chinese engine and automakers, we
have built strong partnerships with many of China's automakers, and
we have been able to draw upon our technology portfolio to enable
them to deliver great engine performance in smaller packages."

A turbocharger utilizes the energy from the engine exhaust that
is otherwise wasted. The turbo has increasingly been adopted by car
makers worldwide as a boosting method to enable a smaller engine to
perform like a bigger engine, but with better fuel efficiency and
lower CO2 footprint. The turbo solution is of even more value in
China since it passed a tax incentive program in January to incent
Chinese consumers to buy smaller displacement vehicles.

"The growth of turbocharging in China is very promising. Today,
only 10% of new light vehicle sales in China are turbocharged," added
Ismail. "We expect the overall turbo vehicle sales in China will
double over the next five years, and we are seeing even stronger
growth in the sales of turbo gasoline vehicles, which are expected to
more than triple by 2014."

Honeywell also launched three BMW gasoline models: BMW 760Li, BMW
X5 M, and BMW X6 M. The Honeywell-boosted BMW 760 Li and BMW X5 M are
world premieres, while BMW X6 M is an Asian premiere. These premium
turbocharged engines are setting unparalleled performances levels
while offering significant reduction in fuel consumption and
emissions.
