Abstract: This invention relates to configuration of at least two exhaust gas turbochargers on an internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders, in particular in a motor vehicle, in which the two turbine housings are connected to the exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine and are immediately adjacent to each other and one turbine is always connected to one compressor by means of a drive shaft, the drive shafts being rotatably mounted in corresponding bearing housings. In order to prepare a design which is advantageous from the viewpoint of structure and production technology, it is proposed that the turbine housings are oriented such that the drive shafts be positioned at least approximately in alignment with each other and that the bearing housings be connected to the turbine housings on both sides.
