AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner's fully integrated P3 hybrid drive module will
soon be powering a variety of front-wheel and AWD SUVs for a major
European performance based OEM. The unique, power-packed P3
solution enables significant fuel economy gains, CO2
reduction and was entirely custom-designed inhouse by BorgWarner,
featuring a motor, power electronics, gears and water cooling, all
integrated within one unit.
"Ensuring that integrated electrification systems like our P3
module seamlessly and efficiently control everything from the
incoming power of the battery to output torque that's driving the
car forward is no easy feat," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "BorgWarner's latest drive module is
a premier example of our team's comprehensive understanding of the
processes, system engineering, software and integration expertise
needed for high-performing hybrid applications."
Among the key features of BorgWarner's latest drive module is
the permanent magnet motor and complementary inverter that
BorgWarner built from the ground up for this application. The
electric motor features BorgWarner's patented and proven S-wind
wire forming process for electric motors and alternators, and the
system is capable of peak power up to 25 kW and enables a
substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. The P3 module
also encompasses disconnect and energy regeneration
capabilities.
BorgWarner also developed the hybrid drive module's complex and
advanced software controls inhouse to meet complex system
integration requirements and standards. Additionally, the company
fully optimized the unit with enhanced thermal characteristics and
packaging, with reduced noise, vibration and harshness.
"We needed to reach very high performance levels within very
limited space to meet customer requirements, and the final
result is a highly power-dense, fully integrated system solution,"
said Demmerle. "The advancements we made throughout the process
will truly lay the groundwork for future integrated system
solutions."
The compact and lightweight solution will help power a range of
vehicles, with anticipated SOP for the P3 drive module in
August 2023.
In addition to P3 drive modules, BorgWarner offers an expansive
product lineup to meet the needs of all potential hybrid and
electric drive architectures, supporting its leading position
delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the
vehicle market.
