Business
Honeywell Turbo Technologies reported $3.2 billion in revenue in 2011 with a $500 million growth in the Honeywell Transportation Systems division, which Honeywell attributes largely to growth in turbocharger sales. Almost half of the Transportation Systems group’s sales are in Europe, where 50 percent of vehicles are turbo diesel and 27 percent are gasoline boosted.
Automobiles manufactured in the US have the lowest rate of turbocharger installations among industrialized nations. Honeywell projects the number of passenger vehicles with turbocharged engines in the US to double to 23 percent by 2016 and rise to 80 percent by 2025. Honeywell projects 30% of its turbocharger growth will come from gasoline engines. So long as oil prices don’t stress the economy, Honeywell believes increasing oil prices, tighter government emission targets and public priorities on fuel efficiency generally contribute to revenue growth for Honeywell.

Famous quotes containing the word business:
“No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
