Abstract: The quantification of energy consumption in manufacturing systems is an essential step for the formulation of energy efficiency strategies. In the transport sector, turbochargers are important devices, which the manufacturing system shows intense energy consumption. This study aims to quantify energy consumption throughout the manufacturing system of a turbocharger. A case study was conducted to analyse the data collected in a turbocharger manufacturer. The total energy consumption is 347.15 MJ, with 240.28 MJ corresponding to the energy consumption for component production. This is the first experimental work related to the turbocharger production, in which the main technical contribution is focused on the LCA throughout various stages of the production process. In addition, the information presented can be used to conduct a comparison with other manufacturing systems and contribute to the development of greater energy efficiency in the automotive industry.
