turbodiesel
Forced-induction heavy fuel
A turbodiesel is a diesel engine equipped with a turbocharger, which forces additional air into the combustion chamber for greater power and efficiency.
The term appears as both noun and adjective: a turbodiesel engine, The truck runs on turbodiesel.
Common in European passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, turbodiesels offer strong torque and better fuel economy than naturally aspirated diesels.
