AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As a global
leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, BorgWarner pushes engine
performance to new heights for the BMW Group's 235 kW (315 HP) diesel motor featured in numerous models of the automaker.
BorgWarner's regulated two-stage (R2S®) turbocharging system with two variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers
delivers powerful boost, and facilitates rapid acceleration while significantly reducing emissions and fuel consumption.
"Combining two of our latest VTG turbochargers in our innovative R2S system delivers almost instant acceleration and increases
efficiency at low engine speeds," said Frédéric Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "Our
collaboration with the BMW Group has resulted in a more powerful, efficient engine that is more economical, environmentally
friendly and dynamic."
This new application of BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging technology consists of two electrically actuated VTG turbochargers
arranged in series. A small high-pressure turbocharger provides most of the boost at low engine speeds. As engine speed
increases, a larger low-pressure turbocharger gradually takes over most of the workload. By utilizing a VTG turbocharger for the
low-pressure stage as well, BorgWarner enhances transient engine behavior even further for excellent acceleration. The rapidly
adapting R2S system also minimizes turbo lag, and reduces emissions and fuel consumption.
