AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For

Contribution to Excellence) Awards winner, this year for its
revolutionary dual volute turbocharger for gasoline engines.

The new dual volute turbocharger was specifically engineered for
gasoline engines in light-duty vehicles with aggressive transient
response targets. The company's new turbocharger delivers a
noticeably quicker engine response time when accelerating from low
speeds. The dual volute geometry allows for the complete
segregation of engine exhaust pulsations so more exhaust energy is
available to the turbine wheel, compared with traditional
twin-scroll turbochargers. By offering superior exhaust gas pulse
separation, the dual volute design delivers a 10 percent
improvement in time-to-torque compared to traditional twin-scroll
turbochargers with no perceptible turbo lag, while also increasing
system efficiency. General Motors is the first OEM to put this
innovative technology in a production vehicle, the 2019 Chevy
Silverado 1500 and 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck models powered
by GM's 2.7-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
"Pursuing innovation is fundamental to BorgWarner's technology
development approach and a key way we showcase our leadership in
boosting solutions that meet our customer's individual needs," said
Robin Kendrick, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "We are extremely
honored to be recognized by the prestigious Automotive News
PACE Awards program for our engineering team's remarkable
achievements and creative efforts in inventing the dual volute
turbocharger for gasoline engines.
The annual PACE Awards honor superior innovation, technological
advancement and business performance among automotive suppliers.
The award winners were honored at an awards ceremony on
April 8, 2019, at the Max M. and
Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit.
In 2018, BorgWarner received its 16th PACE Award for
its groundbreaking S-wind wire forming process for electric motors
and alternators. The state-of-the-art manufacturing process enables
high-volume production of electric motors up to 350 volts, and is
particularly well-suited for P2 hybrids, which the company
anticipates will become a dominant hybrid architecture.
Since 2005, BorgWarner has won a total of 17 awards. With these
innovations, BorgWarner is among the most decorated companies
in the history of the PACE Awards.
