Abstract
An internal combustion engine is associated with a remote load indicator which provides an output signal, corresponding to an impending increase in mechanical load. The internal combustion engine includes an air supply system and an electrical processing circuit. The electrical processing circuit is coupled with the load indicator and receives the output signal. The electrical processing circuit controls the air supply system to initiate an increase in an air supply to the internal combustion engine prior to the increase in mechanical load.
