J Scoltock, Twin technologies, Professional Engineering, May/June 2020, p 45

In UK, a report states that the twin improvements in fuel efficiency and combustion emissions are being met by a combination of turbocharging and electrification. A mechanical turbocharger is linked directly into an electrical machine that acts as either a motor or generator. The latter is now being raised from 12 to 48 volts, and serves to boost the response and also capture excess turbine energy.
