AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) has been selected by JCB Power Systems to
supply both wastegate and variable turbine geometry (VTG)
turbochargers for the new versions of its Dieselmax 4.4-Liter
engines starting in 2012. Designated the JCB 'Ecomax T4', it
is a four-cylinder inline mid-range diesel offering power ratings
from 55 kW to 130 kW in numerous applications like agricultural,
construction, and materials handling machinery. BorgWarner's
turbocharger technology will help this new engine meet stringent
Interim Tier 4/Stage III B regulations without the need for exhaust
aftertreatment or (DPF) Diesel Particulate Filters. These
regulations require up to a 50% reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx)
emissions compared with previous standards.

"BorgWarner VTG turbochargers enable medium-and heavy-duty
commercial diesel engines to comply with increasingly stringent
global emissions standards while achieving better fuel economy,"
said Roger Wood, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "We are pleased to work
with JCB Power Systems to develop optimal solutions to the
challenges posed by Interim Tier 4 emissions standards."
The lower 55 kW rated engine will utilize a BorgWarner fixed
geometry turbocharger with integral wastegate boost control, but
for the higher ratings JCB will use BorgWarner's new BV55 VTG
(Variable Turbine Geometry) turbocharger technology. The BV55
VTG features a high durability brushless actuator specifically
designed and manufactured by BorgWarner for use in heavy duty
turbochargers and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves. JCB
selected BorgWarner's BV55 VTG turbocharger for the fuel economy,
emission compliance, and transient performance benefits it offers.
Equally important in the selection was the robust design and
reliability attributes of the BV55 for demanding off-highway
applications where the Ecomax T4 engines are used.
BorgWarner engineers worked closely with JCB Power Systems to
optimize the charge air system design. BorgWarner's BV55 VTG
turbocharger offers optimum low-speed engine torque characteristics
and precise control of engine boost and EGR rate to reduce NOx and
particulate matter emissions.
BorgWarner Turbo Systems is a leading global producer of
turbochargers, exhaust gas recirculation valves and other engine
air management systems for passenger cars, light trucks and
commercial vehicles. These systems are designed to improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle performance.
