"VW's commercial vehicles and pickups demand optimum power
output and maximum fuel economy. BorgWarner's highly efficient R2S
turbocharging technology delivers both with the added benefit of
lower emissions," said Roger Wood,
Executive Vice President, BorgWarner. "We value our successful
long-standing partnership with Volkswagen and are pleased to
collaborate on optimal solutions for powerful downsized diesel
engines."
To resolve the conflicting objectives of dynamic response and
low emissions, Volkswagen chose BorgWarner's optimized R2S
turbocharging technology for its top performance diesel engines.
Engineers from BorgWarner used two series-connected turbochargers
to deliver continuously high boost pressure over the entire engine
speed range with excellent torque characteristics, ensuring an
exceptionally dynamic response. The R2S technology helps the new
engine achieve a power-to-displacement ratio of 66 kW per liter,
setting a benchmark in the light commercial delivery vehicle.
BorgWarner supported the development process with 3D flow
analysis of the entire turbocharging system to fine-tune the
compact dimensions of the system.
BorgWarner's patented R2S® technology has received several
awards, including a 2008 Automotive News PACE Award and the 2008
Automotive News PACE Environmental Award.
