AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner has been selected to supply its state-of-the-art
on-axis P2 drive module and electro-hydraulic control unit for
hybrid-electric vehicles to two leading Chinese original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs). BorgWarner was chosen as the supplier for
these high-volume programs based on the technological advantages
their P2 modules deliver including: the cost-effective power dense
electric motor; state-of-the-art clutching and controls technology;
and the efficiency, functional and packaging optimization of
integrating the modules in the vehicle powertrains. This new
business award is the result of close collaboration between the
company's global research and development centers and strong local
Chinese engineering capability. With these two recent awards,
BorgWarner will now have content on 18 P2 hybrid transmissions by
2023 serving various global OEMs and spanning multiple vehicle
platforms.
"Our in-house development expertise and extensive hybrid product
portfolio provides us with the flexibility to offer customers a
wide variety of solutions customized to fit their individual
needs," said Frédéric Lissalde, President and CEO, BorgWarner.
"Being awarded these high-volume contracts from key Chinese
automakers reinforces the company's position as a global leader in
clean and efficient propulsion systems across all types of
powertrains."
By placing the electric motor directly between the internal
combustion engine and the transmission, BorgWarner's on-axis P2
drive module delivers cost-effective hybridization by being
compatible with existing vehicle platforms. The innovative P2
solution offers the possibility of integrating up to three
clutches, including a disconnecting clutch, which allows the system
to decouple from the engine for pure electric driving, enabling
customers to achieve both their individual fuel-efficiency and
performance goals. In addition, BorgWarner can supply the
electrohydraulic controls for actuating the wet clutches, giving
customers the option to choose individual components or a complete
system.
BorgWarner's P2 drive module is also available in an off-axis
configuration. This design places the electric motor parallel to
the main axis and connects the system via one of the company's
durable chain technologies, ensuring maximum torque transfer.
The company's P2 drive modules give OEMs the flexibility to
place the electric motor where they have space in existing
architectures, either on- or off-axis. By using BorgWarner's
award-winning S-wind wire-forming process to create the motor, the
P2 drive module produces high power and torque densities in an
extremely compact package. In addition, unlike other off-axis P2
solutions that use a belt to attach the system, BorgWarner's
off-axis drive module delivers top performance from connecting the
P2 via one of its best-in-strength and durability, quiet, chain
drive technologies. Moreover, the solution offers stop/start,
regenerative braking and supplemental electric propulsion, and is
available for 48-volt and high-voltage hybrid systems.
In addition to the P2 drive modules, BorgWarner's extensive
product lineup includes solutions for all potential hybrid drive
architectures, along with integrated clean and efficient propulsion
systems for combustion and electric vehicles. Committed to
advancing sustainable mobility, the company continues to work
internally and with industry partners to develop next-generation
propulsion technologies.
