AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner's integrated drive module (iDM) was selected by
the Hyundai Motor Group for its power electric system, which will
be used in the upcoming A-segment electric vehicle production,
planned to start in mid of 2023. With its state-of-the-art electric
motor, gearbox and integrated power electronics, BorgWarner's new
iDM supports global automakers in their mission to produce cleaner
and more efficient vehicles.
"We have enjoyed nearly two decades of partnership with the
Hyundai Motor Group and couldn't be more excited about this next
step – working on our first electrification project together," said
Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "I am especially
enthusiastic about the fact that this is the first iDM product
combining the portfolios of BorgWarner and legacy Delphi
Technologies after the acquisition, reaping the benefits of the two
organizations."
Designed, developed and manufactured by the company as a
high-performance system, BorgWarner's iDM146 operates at 400V and
has an exceptional peak power of 135 kW. The advanced transmission
technology offers smooth and quiet operation, and the electric
motor uses High Voltage Hairpin technology delivering exceptional
performance. Overall drive system weight and space are reduced by
integrating the gearbox, a 400V silicon inverter and the motor with
a compact, 146mm stator outer diameter. The iDM146 also offers a
scalable and modular inverter design, making it easily customizable
to customer requirements.
