Honeywell Boosts Three Flagship Gasoline Vehicles From BMW Introduced at the
2009 Shanghai Auto Show

New modern gasoline turbo technology sets new standards in performance and
fuel efficiency

SHANGHAI, April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced
that its turbo technologies are fitted on three world-class gasoline vehicles
from BMW launched at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, including a world premiere
of the Honeywell-boosted BMW 760 Li and Asian premieres of the BMW X6 M and X5
M. These premium turbocharged engines are setting unparalleled performance
levels while offering significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.

The new BMW 760 Li features a 6L V12 gasoline bi-turbo engine, which delivers
a stunning 544hp of power and 750Nm of torque. This engine is boosted by two
Honeywell modern gasoline turbochargers (MGT22) situated on both flanks of the
V, providing improved performances over a non-turbocharged model (445hp of
power and 600Nm of torque) while reducing fuel consumption significantly and
meeting Euro5 and ULEV II emissions standards.

The new X5 M and X6 M series are both M 4.4L V8 gasoline bi-turbo engines,
delivering 555hp of power and an impressive 680Nm of torque. This engine
features two Honeywell modern gasoline turbos (MGT22) situated in the middle
of the V, incorporating in its design a "twin-scroll" flow control technology
that enhances the driveability and fuel economy of the engine by maximizing
the recovery of pulsation energy from the exhaust gas. This is the first time
that this flow control technology is used in a V8 engine for a light vehicle.

Honeywell's advanced turbocharging system is also selected to power BMW's new
"ActiveHybrid" engine (4.4L V8 407hp) intended for the 7-series and X6
vehicles. This concept combines, for the first time at BMW, a hybrid
transmission with an advanced gasoline turbocharged engine and provides a
reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of 15% compared with a
non-turbocharged combustion engine.

"We are thrilled to be part of these key programs with BMW," says Alex Ismail,
President of Honeywell Transportation Systems. "These powertrains are setting
new standards in gasoline boosting and places Honeywell and BMW at the
forefront of gasoline boosting technology."

In addition to boosting the flagship BMW vehicles at the Shanghai Auto Show,
Honeywell turbochargers are also fitted on 15 new vehicles developed by
China's biggest carmakers such as Brilliance, Chery, Huatai, JAC Motors,
Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), and Geely. These domestic
launches feature gasoline and diesel engines ranging from 1.3L to 2L,
reflecting a growing trend of carmakers in China looking to turbocharged
engines for great vehicle performance as well as superior fuel efficiency.
Currently, about 10% of new light vehicle sales in China are turbocharged.
Honeywell expects that overall turbo vehicle sales in China will double over
the next five years, and the company is seeing even stronger growth in turbo
gasoline vehicles, whose sales are expected to more than triple by 2014.

As the leading turbocharger developer in the world, Honeywell expects the
global turbocharger segment to grow from 30% of the overall automotive market
to more than 38% by 2013 as automakers look to boost engines to help increase
fuel efficiency and reduce harmful exhaust emissions without sacrificing
performance.
