AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner
(NYSE: BWA) received a 2008 Global Innovation Award from Nissan in
recognition of its innovative dual-clutch technology, used in the
all-new 2008 Nissan GT-R. Launched in December in Japan and last
month in the United States, the eagerly anticipated sports car is
the first GT-R engineered for sale in global markets, the world's
first longitudinal transaxle dual-clutch transmission, and the
first Japanese transmission to feature BorgWarner's award-winning
DualTronic(R) technology. "It is an honor to receive this
prestigious award from Nissan and a privilege to work on this
exceptional driving machine," said Dr. Bernd Matthes, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Transmission Systems. "BorgWarner is
pleased to contribute to the efficiency, responsiveness and
versatility of the GT-R." To create the exhilarating experience
drivers anticipate in a premier sports car, BorgWarner worked
closely with Nissan and its affiliate, Aichi Kikai, designing the
transmission to incorporate four BorgWarner advanced DualTronic(R)
technologies including the dual-clutch module, clutch control
module, shift actuation module, and synchronizer assemblies.
BorgWarner manufactures these components at its facilities in
Arnstadt, Germany; Tulle, France; and Margam, United Kingdom. A
leader in the globalization of dual-clutch transmission technology
for ten years, BorgWarner's family of DualTronic(R) technologies
combines the efficiency of a manual gearbox with the functionality
of a fully automatic transmission, delivering seamless powerflow,
improved fuel efficiency and a fun-to-drive experience. Customers
include VW, Audi, Bugatti, SAIC, Nissan and Getrag dual-clutch
transmission programs with five additional global automakers. In
addition, BorgWarner is working on over 25 programs with
transmission and vehicle makers around the world. Supported by
manufacturing capacity at its facilities in the United States,
Germany, France, the United Kingdom, China and Mexico, BorgWarner
expects to quadruple production of its dual-clutch technology over
the next six years to 2.5 million dual-clutch transmission
applications per year at full-launch of announced programs. Auburn
