Decoding the Turbocharger: Powering Hanoi’s Trucks

“A pickup truck running on steam,” Mr. Nam Tung, owner of a transport company in Long Bien District, Hanoi, laughed when his grandson asked about the old truck he still cherished. Back then, there was no such thing as a “turbo” to boost power.

Mr. Nam Tung’s story recalls a time when “turbo” was a luxury concept for the Vietnamese transportation industry. So, what is a “turbo”? How important is it for modern trucks? Let’s explore with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI in the article below!

Truck Turbos: The Steel Lungs of Road Warriors

What is a Turbo? Unleashing the Power

“Turbo” is short for “turbocharger,” a device that uses exhaust gases from the engine to compress and force more air into the combustion chamber. This results in a more powerful combustion process, enabling the engine to produce greater horsepower and torque.

Simply put, a turbocharger is like a “steel lung” that helps trucks “breathe” more efficiently, thereby increasing power and cargo capacity.

Advantages of Turbocharged Trucks

• Increased engine power: Turbos enable trucks to carry heavy loads uphill more easily and navigate rough roads powerfully.
• Improved acceleration: Trucks start and accelerate quickly, which is especially useful when navigating congested urban areas like Hanoi.
• Fuel efficiency: Turbos optimize the fuel combustion process, leading to significant fuel savings.

Turbocharger Drawbacks to Consider

Besides the outstanding advantages, turbos also have certain drawbacks:

• Turbo lag: There is a short delay between pressing the accelerator and the turbocharger reaching optimal speed. This can cause a momentary lag in acceleration.
• Higher maintenance costs: Turbos are complex components that require more rigorous periodic maintenance, potentially incurring higher costs compared to conventional engines.

• Avoid sudden engine shutdown: Allow the engine to cool for 1-2 minutes after operating at high intensity to let the turbocharger cool down and prevent damage.

Feng Shui for Turbocharged Trucks

According to folk beliefs, choosing a truck color that aligns with the owner’s feng shui can bring good luck and prosperity. For example, people with the Metal element should choose white or yellow vehicles; those with the Water element should choose blue or black vehicles…
