BorgWarner secures electric cross differential project in China
BorgWarner
has announced a new programme for its
electric cross differential
(eXD) technology with a Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for use in
electric vehicles
. The company said in a statement that the development aligns with the transition of traditional powertrain technologies towards electrification to address rising performance and safety requirements.
The eXD system dynamically controls power distribution between wheels to improve handling and traction. Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager of Drivetrain and Morse Systems, said, 'BorgWarner's
eXD technology
improves handling and
vehicle stability
in various driving conditions. The technology has proven effective in combustion vehicles, and we are now expanding its application to electric vehicles to elevate the driving experience for electric vehicle users.'
Application in different driving conditions
The eXD adjusts slip control in real time based on driving conditions and vehicle status. The system enhances stability during high-speed driving, rapid acceleration, and sharp turns.
According to BorgWarner, the eXD also adapts across different friction levels. On dry roads, it transfers more power to the outer wheels for cornering. In conditions such as ice, snow, or mud, it identifies reduced friction and limits power to slipping wheels, reallocating drive force to wheels with better traction.
