BorgWarner secures turbocharger contract with East Asian carmaker for hybrid SUVs
BorgWarner has signed a new contract with a major East Asian original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to supply turbochargers for its 1.6-litre engine platform used in hybrid electric SUV models. The programme marks a continuation of an 18-year relationship between the two companies. The agreement covers the supply of wastegate turbocharger systems designed for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications. These systems are intended to improve fuel efficiency, acceleration, and drivability in the customer's upcoming SUV models. 'This award underscores our commitment to delivering high-performance, efficient turbocharging solutions that support the customer's ambitious HEV growth strategy,' said Volker Weng, Vice President, BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. 'Our advanced wastegate turbocharger technology is a key enabler of fuel economy and driving performance, and we are proud to continue our trusted partnership,' he added. Focus on thermal durability and local production The wastegate turbocharger system includes a robust actuator and refined valve design that enables precise boost control under varying engine loads and driving conditions. It is built to withstand high thermal loads, a common requirement in hybrid duty cycles, and aims to reduce friction and thermal losses for improved overall efficiency and lower emissions. Production will commence in 2027 at BorgWarner's Pyongtaek facility in Korea, aligning with the OEM's localisation strategy and ensuring supply chain efficiency for the regional market.

BorgWarner wins turbocharger contracts for global OEM's compact and hybrid vehicles
BorgWarner has secured two major turbocharger supply contracts with a global original equipment manufacturer (OEM), expanding its market share in both Europe and North America. The deals mark a significant step forward in BorgWarner's long-term commitment to supporting combustion and hybrid engine platforms, even as other suppliers pivot away from internal combustion technologies. Under the first contract, BorgWarner will supply its cost-effective and durable wastegate turbochargers for 1.0-litre gasoline engines to be used in next-generation compact and light commercial vehicles in Europe. Production is scheduled to commence in August 2027. The second contract covers a high-performance turbocharger program for 3.0-litre gasoline hybrid engines, targeting the North American market. Deliveries under this deal are slated to begin in September 2028. 'This award underscores our ability to win in highly contested markets by offering reliable, cost-effective solutions and long-term supply commitments,' said Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. Manufacturing for the new turbochargers will take place at BorgWarner's facilities in Rzeszów, Poland, and Ramos, Mexico, aligning with the company's emphasis on localisation and operational excellence.

BorgWarner wins dual inverter supply deal from major Chinese OEM for hybrid vehicles
BorgWarner has secured a fresh contract to supply its advanced dual inverter systems to a leading Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for their upcoming range of hybrid vehicles . This deal marks a continuation of the two companies' collaboration that began in 2021 and is set to enter mass production by the end of 2025. 'We are pleased to once again win dual inverter business from this important customer. This milestone signifies a new phase of collaboration in the new energy vehicle sector,' said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems. The dual inverter system from BorgWarner enables synchronous control of two electric motors through a single controller, significantly enhancing packaging flexibility and installation convenience. Leveraging proprietary packaging technology, the system integrates multiple power modules into a compact design, helping reduce overall vehicle weight and cost—key considerations in hybrid vehicle development. A standout feature of the technology is its advanced power module design, which offers up to 50 per cent lower thermal resistance compared to single-sided cooling. This translates into a higher power density, meeting the growing demands of China's stringent CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) efficiency standards. The system's adaptive battery voltage regulation also broadens the motor's constant power and efficiency ranges, ultimately improving overall system performance. BorgWarner continues to evolve its dual inverter platform with ongoing improvements in system architecture and hardware design. Its third-generation model integrates a high-performance single chip for both DC-DC conversion and dual motor control, with the ability to add high-voltage auxiliary interfaces as per customer needs. Meanwhile, the upcoming fourth-generation variant includes a built-in boost converter and supports optional DC-DC modules, offering greater flexibility for next-generation hybrid vehicle platforms.

BorgWarner Obtains High-Voltage Coolant Heater Contract with Global OEM
400V high-voltage coolant heater (HVCH) technology to be used in series of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles HVCH offers flexible and compact design with high thermal power density Marks the company's largest eHeater contract for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in North America AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner, a global product leader in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, has secured a contract with a major, global OEM to deliver its 400-volt HVCH on a series of the automaker's plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) platforms. This HVCH PHEV deal spans mid-size pickup trucks, SUVs and minivans, and production is expected to begin production in 2027. The deal marks BorgWarner's largest HVCH PHEV award in North America to date based on expected volumes. BorgWarner has secured a contract with a major, global OEM to deliver its 400-volt high-voltage coolant heaters (HVCH) on a series of the automaker's plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) platforms for mid-size pickup trucks, SUVs and minivans. The company's 400V HVCH offers a flexible and compact design enabling it to meet the OEM's distinct vehicle environments without requiring changes to the vehicle platforms. The technology also offers high thermal power density through its unique brazed aluminum fin technology with a power ranging up to 10 kW. The thick-film heating and brazed fins enable optimal heat transfer, improve flow distribution and help to degas and prevent bubble accumulation. "BorgWarner has been collaborating with this global OEM on a variety of projects and is looking forward to furthering our relationship by providing this efficient solution for battery and cabin heating," said Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies.
