"With our highly efficient AWD solution, we offer customers a
high-performance product that combines several of our leading
technologies," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner
PowerDrive Systems. "Working with Jaguar Land Rover to deliver a
leading AWD experience in the new Range Rover Velar, BorgWarner
once again reaffirms its position as a global leader in clean and
efficient technology solutions for all types of propulsion
systems."
BorgWarner's pre-emptive on-demand transfer case enhances AWD
function by connecting to the vehicle's control systems and
monitoring signals including but not limited to steering wheel
angle, accelerator pedal position and wheel speed. Based on this
data, BorgWarner's patented lightweight centrifugal
electro-hydraulic (CEH) actuator distributes the required torque
between the two axles by compressing the clutch pack, allowing the
AWD transfer case to deliver pre-emptive and precise linear clutch
actuation for immediate response, enhanced vehicle traction and
stability control. Incorporating additional leading BorgWarner
technologies such as the durable, high-efficiency HY-VO®
transfer case chain and an innovative pumpless design and sump
management, the pre-emptive transfer case also improves fuel
economy compared with traditional transfer case designs. In
addition, the flexible and scalable design facilitates optimal
packaging for space-constrained applications.
