First public showcase in China of 3-in-1 E-Powertrain and E-Cooling Compressor technologies, advancing zero-emission vehicle performance Differentiated turbocharging solutions for passenger and commercial vehicles, supporting emissions reduction and efficiency Hybrid-optimized boosting solutions to maximize fuel economy in PHEV and REEV applications

ROLLE, Switzerland and PLYMOUTH, Mich., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Garrett Motion Inc. (NASDAQ: GTX), a leading differentiated automotive technology provider, is presenting its latest innovations at Auto Shanghai 2025 (April 23–May 2), including the China debut of its 3-in-1 E-Powertrain and E-Cooling Compressor—two breakthrough technologies driving the future of zero-emission mobility.
Garrett’s showcase highlights its dual focus on cleaner internal combustion solutions and next-generation electrification technologies that improve energy efficiency, performance, and sustainability.

"Automakers are focused on improving efficiency and reducing emissions while driving electrification," said Olivier Rabiller, president and CEO of Garrett Motion. "Garrett provides advanced solutions that optimize performance in all vehicles - from high-efficiency turbocharging for internal combustion engines, including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), to differentiated electrification technologies that support the transition to zero-emission mobility."

Electrification and Zero-Emission Technologies: Powering the Future

With global NEV (BEV, PHEV, REEV and FCEV) production reaching 18 million units in 2024, based on IHS registration data, and China leading the world in adoption, demand is growing fast for technologies that enable lightweight, high-efficiency electric platforms. Garrett is delivering with a next-gen portfolio of propulsion, thermal, and energy management solutions.
Garrett’s technology foundation is built on unparalleled expertise in air and gas compression, high-speed electric motors, advanced power electronics, and control software for high-speed systems. This technical leadership enables Garrett to solve critical engineering challenges as its customers develop new generations of electrified applications.

3-in-1 E-Powertrain: Compact, Powerful, and Resource-Efficient (First Public Showcase in China)

Garrett’s 3-in-1 E-Powertrain combines a high-speed electric motor, inverter, and reducer in a single, integrated package—delivering up to 40% reduction in size and weight compared to industry benchmarks. Key advantages include:

Story Continues

Reduced use of rare earths and critical minerals, with no compromise on performance Improved packaging flexibility and extended driving range for EVs and space constraint REEV architectures Volume production readiness, including a partnership with SinoTruk to co-develop a next-generation heavy-duty E-powertrain, with start of production targeted latest 2027

E-Cooling Compressor: Advanced Thermal Management (First Public Showcase in China)

Garrett’s E-Cooling Compressor leverages high-speed centrifugal technology to deliver superior battery and cabin cooling—critical for EV efficient operation and safety. Its high performance, oil-free, lightweight design supports multiple applications:

Thermal systems for electric trucks and buses Heat pumps for high performance electric passenger cars Validated through extensive customer testing, with over a dozen pre-development programs underway

Fuel Cell Compressor: Supporting the Hydrogen Economy
Having started production of our Gen 3 line, Garrett now offers the broadest and most mature portfolio of Fuel Cell compressors, with best-in-class efficiency and proven field reliability. These systems provide:

High reliability for harsh automotive duty cycles Scalable design to meet varying flow and pressure demands Integration flexibility across multiple fuel cell platforms

Turbocharging: Enabling Cleaner Combustion and Hybrid Efficiency

While electrification accelerates, internal combustion remains vital. In 2024, 75% of China’s 5.86 million vehicle exports were ICE-powered, and hybrid formats are growing rapidly. 
By 2030, the market share in China of PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) and REEV (Range-Extended Electric Vehicles) is expected to approach that of BEVs. The rapid growth of PHEV and REEV production in China, coupled with strong momentum in ICE exports, creates significant opportunities for the adoption of Garrett’s turbocharging technologies, driving cleaner transportation. 
Garrett addresses this demand with:

Advanced turbochargers that boost power density and improve fuel efficiency in internal combustion engines (ICEs) Hybrid-optimized boosting solutions designed to maximize fuel economy in PHEV and REEV applications E-Boosting systems that enhance responsiveness while optimizing efficiency and reducing emissions in hybrid powertrains
