Według badań przeprowadzonych przez koncern LANXESS około 80 proc. nowo zarejestrowanych pojazdów w 2035 roku będzie nadal posiadało silnik spalinowy – w postaci łagodnej hybrydy, hybrydy plug-in lub silnika czystego spalania. Tendencja będzie przechylać się w kierunku silników z turbodoładowaniem, ponieważ są wydaj­niejsze i bardziej przyjazne środowisku. Przewód powietrza doładowującego musi wytrzy­my­wać coraz wyższe temperatury ze względu na mniejsze przestrzenie instalacyjne, rosnącą moc silników i ich nowe konstrukcje.
