Abstract
A twin charged engine is provided comprising a catalytic converter; a first compressor which, when operated, increases engine load; a second compressor which extracts energy from the exhaust gases to increase the overall engine efficiency; and a controller configured to operate one of at least two modes. A first mode is a standard operating mode in which the system is configured to optimise the efficiency of running of the engine. A second mode is for use under special conditions.
