Worldwide roll-out at Honeywell Turbo Technologies

The Swiss Honeywell Turbo Technologies is recognized around the world as a leading supplier of engine boosting systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Following the successful completion of the Every Angle pilot at the Manchester plant at the end of 2007, an agreement was signed in May 2008 sealing the worldwide roll-out of the system. Every Angle is now up and running in the plant in Romania, and the roll-out in Italy is scheduled for the second half of this year. The system will be rolled out in the United States and Asia next year.
