support our product leadership in Asia and around the world."

leadership position is driving technology solutions to improve fuel
economy and reduce emissions. This commitment to protect the

facility, which is designed as a "green building." State-of-the-art

economical hot water by tapping into the more stable temperatures a
few feet below the earth's surface. This environmentally friendly
fuel source reduces energy costs by 30% - 60% without emitting
carbon dioxide, a major contributor to air pollution. BorgWarner
