Fixed Geometry Turbochargers

The Holset® brand has its roots in fixed geometry technology, turbochargers which funnel all the exhaust gas to the turbine to boost engine power. With over 60 years experience of meeting customer power requirements, Cummins Turbo Technologies’ expertise is tried and tested, and produces some of the world’s most optimized, efficient and reliable turbochargers.

Variable Geometry Turbochargers

The Holset® VGT™ from Cummins Turbo Technologies pioneered Variable Geometry (VG) technology for the commercial vehicle market in 1998. Featuring a patented sliding nozzle ring, the Holset® VGT™ offers a wide flow range that allows for higher boost pressures at low engine speeds. VG technology provides the most fuel-efficient means of driving short-route Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), which is used to reduce NOx levels.

Wastegate Turbochargers

Wastegate technology helps to prevent turbocharger over-speeding, as well as engine overboost. The well-engineered Holset® wastegate turbochargers employ the same industry-leading design techniques used throughout Cummins. Wastegate turbochargers improve upon fixed geometry units with an overall 3% increase in efficiency, and they can be optimized for various aftertreatment systems.
