AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner
will present its broad product portfolio at the 15th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition (Auto China 2018), taking place
from April 25 to May 4 at the China International Exhibition Center. Echoing the theme of "Steering
to a New Era," the company will show its broad product portfolio of technology solutions for
combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, engineered to help automakers address tomorrow's challenges. At booth W3-W01, visitors
can learn about the latest technologies from BorgWarner, including P0 and P2 modules for hybrid vehicles, electric drive
modules/integrated drive modules (eDM/iDM), electric motors, thermal management technologies for battery and cabin heating,
eBooster® electrically driven boosting technology and exhaust heat recovery systems (EHRS). BorgWarner also showcases
power electronics technologies after acquiring former Sevcon, Inc., the UK-based new energy vehicle control device and battery
charger manufacturer.
"Electric and hybrid vehicle technologies are the focus of the 'Made in China 2025' Action
Plan set forth by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The largest auto market in the world, China witnessed robust growth in hybrid and pure electric vehicle sales volume over the past few years,"
said Tom Tan, Vice President of BorgWarner and President of BorgWarner China. "As a long-term
partner of automotive manufacturers, BorgWarner is committed to creating a clean and energy-efficient world. Our advanced
solutions help accelerate integration of innovative technologies, while improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. We are
dedicated to enabling Chinese automakers to meet challenges and seize opportunities for future development in the automotive
industry."
Demand for hybrid engines is strong due to increasingly stricter emission regulations. The launch of a credit-score program in
2018, which aims to gradually phase out fossil-fuel powered vehicles, further accelerates the upgrade of the auto industry. To
support the transition to cleaner and more efficient vehicles, BorgWarner will have on display the highly adaptive on-axis P2
module for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). With P2 clutch module integrated into the efficient on-axis configuration, the
company's highly flexible technology facilitates fast-to-market hybridization by enabling pure electric driving as well as hybrid
functionalities and allows automakers to maximize the use of existing production lines.
In addition, BorgWarner will showcase its proven eBooster® electrically driven compressor at Auto China 2018. As an
important complementary product for traditional turbocharging solutions and a key enabler for downsizing and downspeeding,
BorgWarner's 48-volt eBooster® electrically driven compressor delivers boost on demand, improves boost at low engine
speeds and nearly eliminates turbo lag. Other highlights at the exhibition include BorgWarner's innovative EHRS which helps
shorten engine warm-up time, improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, and can also be used for cabin heating.
For all-electric vehicles, BorgWarner has developed the eDM/iDM electric drive module. The eDM combines an electric motor with
an eGearDrive® transmission, while iDM modules integrate the gearbox, electric motor and inverter. The integrated
design of the electric motor and transmission enables weight, cost and space savings, meeting the trend for lightweight, green
and energy-efficient vehicles.
