Nowadays with the downsizing trend growing strong even in "conservative" markets, such as Brazil, it might seem as an incentive to go further with the development of a commercially-viable approach to integrate an alternator and a turbocharger in less than 10 years. Though it's likely to be more of a supplement to the conventional engine-driven alternator in non-hybrid cars fitted with start-stop, any enhancement to the energy recovery provided by a turbo is worth something...
