BorgWarner Supplies Engine and Transmission Content to Ford Escape
Hybrid CHICAGO, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner engine
and transmission products will help drive North America's first
hybrid, the Ford Escape, which is on sale now and will be arriving
in dealerships later this summer. As a leading global powertrain
supplier, BorgWarner will provide various emissions and air
management components, the engine timing system and clutching
systems. "Several of BorgWarner's traditional products are on
hybrid vehicles such as the Ford Escape, the Honda Insight and
Civic and Toyota Prius," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. "Through our Drivetrain Group, we are
working to identify innovative, nontraditional solutions as well.
Hybrids are creating an exciting technology environment for product
leaders who are able to make the most of it." The Ford Escape
Hybrid combines the fuel economy of a full hybrid with the
versatility of four-wheel drive, and teams a high-voltage storage
battery with an efficient gasoline engine to charge the engine
without the need for plugging it in. In addition, Ford expects the
Escape Hybrid to be certified for sale as an Advanced Technology
Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), the strictest emissions
certification. The Escape Hybrid can run solely on electric power
at speeds below 25 mph, and then switch seamlessly and quietly into
gasoline mode at higher speeds. BorgWarner Inc. (NYSE:BWA) is a
