AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- The automotive industry is currently experiencing a major
breakthrough: new guidelines regarding emissions require
ever-cleaner and efficient engines. BorgWarner provides the Hyundai
Motor Group with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves that reduce
nitrogen oxide (NOX) and carbon monoxide (CO). In
addition, the company's technology contributes to improved fuel
efficiency of up to 2.5 % and features cost-effective design.
BorgWarner is producing this clean and efficient technology
solution locally in Korea for the first time. The technology is
currently suitable for three of the automaker's engines, including
the Gamma II (1.6 liter), Nu Imp. (1.8 and 2.0 liter) and Theta III
(2.5 liter). Moreover, BorgWarner supports the Hyundai Motor Group
by locally producing EGR valves in China as well.

"We are delighted to expand our successful, more than 30 year
long-lasting relationship with Hyundai Motor Group. As leader in
gasoline EGR technology, we can provide our customers with highly
developed solutions such as an adaptable valve housing to be
suitable for each engine layout," said Joe
Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions
& Thermal Systems. "At BorgWarner, we are aligned with the aims
of the Hyundai Motor Group, employing EGR for gasoline engines to
improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. As we support our
customers with localized manufacturing, we have grown as a top
supplier for EGR solutions."
EGR systems are a proven, cost-effective solution for improved
fuel economy. To meet more and more stringent emissions
regulations, the demand for this advanced technology is increasing
among vehicle manufacturers. BorgWarner provides its customers with
a range of technologies, from EGR valves to complete EGR module
solutions. By recirculating a controllable portion of exhaust gas
back into the intake air, EGR systems enable the reduction of
combustion temperatures and increase engine efficiency, even at
minimal coolant flow. The company's valves precisely regulate EGR
at various engine speeds and loads. BorgWarner's solution enables
reductions in fuel consumption by minimizing the use of enriched
fuel/air mixtures while facilitating a leaner burn through improved
combustion timing.
