"BorgWarner's comprehensive technology portfolio for electric
vehicles makes us a strong partner for automakers worldwide as they
move toward a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future,"
said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "We are excited
to expand our working relationship with one of our long-term
customers to provide a full system solution for their electric
vehicle."
Fully integrated, highly efficient and light weight,
the BorgWarner iDM product family is available in
three different power levels (iDM 90, iDM 120, iDM 160) and is easy
to integrate either at the front or rear axle of
electric vehicles depending on the architecture and
application.
The key benefits of the iDM include its scalable and modular
architecture and wide range of gear ratios and electric motor sizes
available. Operating at 220 to 480 volts of direct current
(VDC), iDM provides up to 150Kw power and up to 3000 Nm torque,
which can be further extended to 160Kw and 3800 Nm as needed for
different vehicle platforms. The advanced electric drive
product offers smooth and quiet operation and the patented
hairpin-wound stator motor technology delivers exceptional
performance with superior noise, vibration and harshness
characteristics. The iDM module is suited for Class A and A+
passenger vehicles and SUVs. All components used in the iDM are
part of BorgWarner's technology portfolio; components are available
as a fully integrated module or as stand-alone solutions. In
addition, the iDM offers full software functionality with an option
for the high-level control of vehicle dynamics and energy
management. The software architecture meets current market
requirements and is easy to adapt to common platforms like AUTOSAR,
as well as allowing safety aspects such as ASIL D to be achieved.
To handle the increasing volume of data exchange within modern
vehicle systems, BorgWarner's state-of-the-art power electronics
can be used with a CAN or CAN FD bus and flexray.
