BorgWarner's Turbo Technology Helps New Diesel Passenger Car Engine
Meet Euro 5 Standards AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 3
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner's regulated two-stage (R2S(R))
turbocharging system boosts power 20% while improving fuel economy
and reducing CO2 emissions 13% for the new four-cylinder diesel
engine from Mercedes-Benz, offering consumers significant
improvements compared with the previous 2.2-liter diesel engine.
Designed for either transverse or longitudinal installation and
equally suitable for all-wheel-drive vehicles, the new power unit
will be the backbone of Mercedes-Benz diesel engine production.
Initially launched in Europe, the engine meets Euro 5 emission
standards as well as US Tier 2 BIN 5 emission requirements. (Photo:

application of BorgWarner's R2S(R) turbocharging technology in the
220 CDI and 250 CDI engines, Mercedes-Benz plans to implement
two-stage turbocharging in a production passenger car diesel engine
for the first time, following its highly successful use of R2S(R)
turbochargers in the previous engine generation for the Sprinter
van. "BorgWarner's R2S(R) turbocharger allows the new Mercedes-Benz
diesel engine to raise the bar on power and torque, yet emit
substantially less CO2 and consume less fuel," said Roger Wood,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions
Systems. "We are pleased to support Mercedes-Benz in delivering
economical, environmentally friendly, powerful performance with
this new generation of engines." BorgWarner's R2S(R) regulated
two-stage turbocharging system consists of two series-connected
turbochargers: a smaller unit (referred to as the high-pressure
turbocharger) and a larger unit (known as the low-pressure
turbocharger). At low engine speeds, the smaller high-pressure
turbocharger ensures spontaneous engine response without "turbo
lag." With increasing engine speed, the larger low-pressure
turbocharger gradually takes over more of the work, ensuring
constantly increasing power and high output torque across a wide
range of engine speeds. As a result, the R2S(R) turbocharger
achieves both high torque at low engine speeds as well as maximum
output at high engine speeds. The combination allows car makers to
offer low-fuel-consumption, efficient, downsized engines with the
dynamic response and high peak output power of a larger engine, all
with lower emissions and fuel consumption. BorgWarner's patented
R2S(R) technology has received multiple awards, including a 2008
Automotive News PACE Environmental Award. BorgWarner Turbo &
