Ferrari’s Electric Turbo
Ferrari’s Electric Turbo Four-Cylinder Patent Application May Be the Solution to Turbo Lag
You may think a four-cylinder Ferrari is absolute sacrilege, but it wouldn’t be the first one out there. Back in the 1950s, the iconic Italian marque slotted inline-four engines in a wide range of their racing cars. However, no four-cylinder engine has ever made its way into a production Ferrari. At least not yet – this patent application may be a sign of Ferrari’s future intentions. AutoGuide came upon Ferrari S.p.A’s application for a new four-cylinder engine with forced induction by way of an electrically-operated turbocharger.
That makes the engine a bit different than the turbocharged units we’re used to. Instead of the exhaust gases feeding a turbine that mechanically spins a compressor to force more air into the combustion chamber, this design feeds exhaust gases through a turbine in the exhuast duct to power an electric generator. That energy is then sent to an electric driver motor that can either directly feed the wheels or run to an electrically-assisted air compressor. That compressor pulls more air into the combustion chamber, and you get more power.
Reducing turbo lag and improving exhaust sound
The main goal of this design is to eliminate turbo lag. As the patent application points out, “the sizing and control mode of a turbocharger are always a compromise between teh needs of the compressor and the needs of the turbine and between the need to limit “turbo-lag” and the need to provide a significant power increase.” In other words, you can have power or reduced turbo lag, but not both – at least with a normal design. Ferrari’s design uses electrical energy to help spool up the compressor on demand to force air into the engine on demand.
It’s not all about power, though. Electrically-controlled valves in the exhaust system allow Ferrari to manipulate the engine’s exhaust note. The engine control unit (ECU) can change the geometry of the exhaust system, including slowing down the turbine in the exhaust duct, to finely control the engine’s pitch. The end goal: creating a livelier exhaust note.
We’ll see if this four-cylinder engine actually makes its way under future Ferraris. Stay tuned to TFLcar.com for more updates! If you’re more interested in finding out about how Ferrari’s design works, check out their patent application below.

Cat power generation module
Caterpillar launched the Cat offshore power generation module, a turnkey scalable, single lift, modular power plant product. The unit offers full integration into a floating, production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel or a fixed production platform’s structural design. It was
designed specifically to meet the needs of FPSO and fixed production platform’s main power applications in cases where a gas turbine was not ideal. Available from 4 MW to 17.3 MW per module, the unit runs on liquid, diesel, crude, and heavy fuel oil or gas. It also runs in dual fuel mode and meets current and future emission regulations to maximize flexibility and reduce operating costs. The modular layout can be expanded to provide power for future upgrades. The
integrated design is complemented with flexible manufacturing and the power module is equipped with remote monitoring.

Volvo, Caterpillar, Komatsu Try to Buck Antitrust Suit
Law360, New York (April 21, 2015, 12:18 PM ET) — Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu America Corp. and a Volvo AB subsidiary urged a Delaware federal court Monday to throw out a heavy construction equipment importer’s lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to thwart its contracts and put it out of business, saying the complaint fails to offer a plausible suggestion they’ve done anything illegal.
Asheville, North Carolina-based International Construction Products LLC had alleged Caterpillar, Komatsu and Volvo Construction Equipment North America LLC were threatened by its attempts to sell Chinese-made construction equipment directly to consumers online at an up to 40 percent discount, so, ICP said, they conspired to block ICP’s online distribution by strong-arming its online auction partner into breaking a contract.
In their motion to dismiss Monday, the three equipment manufacturers said ICP failed to offer any information that pushes the allegation that the companies conspired with each other from possible to plausible and have accused the manufacturers of, at most, parallel conduct that, on its face, is perfectly legal, competitive, unilateral behavior.
“ICP fails to plead any conduct that even comes close to violating federal antitrust law,” the three companies said. “To the contrary, it is consistent with vigorous competition among entities acting unilaterally in their own self-interests, which the antitrust laws encourage.”
ICP teamed up with used equipment auction site IronPlanet.com to host a separate store for the new machines, getting Iron Planet to share its sales force and process transactions in exchange for a commission, according to the suit. But the manufacturers allegedly threatened to boycott their products from IronPlanet’s own website if the relationship continued, with CAT Auction Services, partially owned by Caterpillar, later merging with IronPlanet.
The ICP-IronPlanet store launched in March, but by April the site told ICP it was getting pressure from manufacturers to end the relationship, eventually giving in and breaking its contract, according to the suit. ICP claims the defendants must have coordinated their threats because none of them alone had an incentive to pull their products from IronPlanet unless they knew the risks would be shared among other manufacturers.
The behavior is part of a pattern for Caterpillar, Komatsu and Volvo, with the manufacturers requiring exclusivity from their equipment dealers, according to the complaint. Dealers allegedly buy new equipment from them with the understanding not to offer competing products, risking losing sales of new machines and lucrative repair work if they don’t go along. The practice makes it difficult for new companies to enter the market, ICP said.
The defendants are responsible for more than 55 percent of U.S. heavy equipment sales, according to the suit.
Representatives for the parties did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment.
ICP is represented by John W. Shaw of Shaw Keller LLP and James P. Denvir and Christopher G. Renner of Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP.
Volvo is represented by James H. S. Levine, M. Duncan Grant, Melissa H. O’Donnell and Robin Sumner of Pepper Hamilton LLP.
Komatsu is represented by Denise S. Kraft, Brian A. Biggs, David H. Bamberger, James F. Reardon, Katherine M. Ruffing and Laura D. Hatcher of DLA Piper LLP.
Caterpillar is represented by David J. Baldwin and Janine L. Hochberg of Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP.
The case is International Construction Products LLC v. Caterpillar Inc. et al., case number 1:15-cv-00108, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
