Honeywell Boosts Three Flagship Gasoline Vehicles From BMW Introduced at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show

Shanghai (ots/PRNewswire) -

- New modern gasoline turbo technology sets new standards in
performance and fuel efficiency

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced that its turbo technologies are
fitted on three world-class gasoline vehicles from BMW launched at
the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, including a world premiere of the
Honeywell-boosted BMW 760 Li and Asian premieres of the BMW X6 M and
X5 M. These premium turbocharged engines are setting unparalleled
performance levels while offering significant reduction in fuel
consumption and emissions.

The new BMW 760 Li features a 6L V12 gasoline bi-turbo engine,
which delivers a stunning 544hp of power and 750Nm of torque. This
engine is boosted by two Honeywell modern gasoline turbochargers
(MGT22) situated on both flanks of the V, providing improved
performances over a non-turbocharged model (445hp of power and 600Nm
of torque) while reducing fuel consumption significantly and meeting
Euro5 and ULEV II emissions standards.

The new X5 M and X6 M series are both M 4.4L V8 gasoline bi-turbo
engines, delivering 555hp of power and an impressive 680Nm of torque.
This engine features two Honeywell modern gasoline turbos (MGT22)
situated in the middle of the V, incorporating in its design a
"twin-scroll" flow control technology that enhances the driveability
and fuel economy of the engine by maximizing the recovery of
pulsation energy from the exhaust gas. This is the first time that
this flow control technology is used in a V8 engine for a light
vehicle.

Honeywell's advanced turbocharging system is also selected to
power BMW's new "ActiveHybrid" engine (4.4L V8 407hp) intended for
the 7-series and X6 vehicles. This concept combines, for the first
time at BMW, a hybrid transmission with an advanced gasoline
turbocharged engine and provides a reduction in fuel consumption and
emissions of 15% compared with a non-turbocharged combustion engine.

"We are thrilled to be part of these key programs with BMW," says
Alex Ismail, President of Honeywell Transportation Systems. "These
powertrains are setting new standards in gasoline boosting and places
Honeywell and BMW at the forefront of gasoline boosting technology."

In addition to boosting the flagship BMW vehicles at the Shanghai
Auto Show, Honeywell turbochargers are also fitted on 15 new vehicles
developed by China's biggest carmakers such as Brilliance, Chery,
Huatai, JAC Motors, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC),
and Geely. These domestic launches feature gasoline and diesel
engines ranging from 1.3L to 2L, reflecting a growing trend of
carmakers in China looking to turbocharged engines for great vehicle
performance as well as superior fuel efficiency. Currently, about 10%
of new light vehicle sales in China are turbocharged. Honeywell
expects that overall turbo vehicle sales in China will double over
the next five years, and the company is seeing even stronger growth
in turbo gasoline vehicles, whose sales are expected to more than
triple by 2014.

As the leading turbocharger developer in the world, Honeywell
expects the global turbocharger segment to grow from 30% of the
overall automotive market to more than 38% by 2013 as automakers look
to boost engines to help increase fuel efficiency and reduce harmful
exhaust emissions without sacrificing performance.
