It wasn’t until the early part of the 20th century that a Swiss engineer by the name of Dr. Alfred Buchi put forward his plans for a supercharger driven by exhaust gases, marking the birth of the turbo. However, this earlier version of turbocharging technology wasn’t effective enough to maintain the pressure required in order to provide enhanced performance.

During the 1930s, turbo compressors were used almost exclusively in large engines, such as those of locomotives or ships. In 1938, a Swiss company called Schweizer Maschinenfabrik Saurer develo

ped the first turbochargers for commercial diesel trucks. Throughout the 1950s, turbocharging technology was developed and refined further, which led to turbos being utilized more and more on heavy commercial vehicles like excavators and earthmovers. In 1952, a car using a turbocharged engine started in the famous Indianapolis Race on the pole position. Again in the USA, around 1962-3 the Chevrolet Corvair Monza and the Oldsmobile Jetfire became the first production car equipped with an exhaust turbocharger.
