BorgWarner secures Chinese NEV motor deal; expands capacity
BorgWarner, a US-based automotive and e-mobility supplier, on Monday said it has won a contract from a major Chinese equipment manufacturer to supply electric motors for its new energy vehicle (NEV) range, covering both battery electric and hybrid models. According to the official press release, the platform-based motor design features the company's ultra-short hairpin welding process for a more compact structure and improved space use. 'Our partnership with this customer spans nearly a decade. We remain committed to delivering smarter, more efficient motor solutions as we work toward an electrified future,' said Stefan Demmerle, Vice-President, BorgWarner, and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems. To meet rising demand in China's rapidly growing NEV market, the company is expanding its manufacturing footprint. A new electric drive systems facility in Wuhu, set to open soon, will feature intelligent lines capable of producing multiple motor platforms, enabling scaled delivery. Earlier this year, the firm signed a memorandum of understanding with the Wuhu municipal government to establish a new manufacturing base for electric drive systems. The facility, which is close to becoming operational, will house intelligent manufacturing lines capable of producing multiple motor platforms on shared lines, boosting output and enabling large-scale delivery.

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.
