AUBURN
HILLS, Mich., May 4, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner, a global leader in delivering
innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the vehicle
market, has been selected to provide high-voltage hairpin (HVH)
eMotors for a leading electric vehicle brand in China. The eMotors will be used in the
company's second-generation 800V propulsion system platform. The
vehicle model equipped with this platform is expected to start mass
production in October 2023.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with this Chinese
leader in EVs, working together to succeed in the Battery Electric
Vehicle sector," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner
PowerDrive Systems. "BorgWarner's eMotors feature premium
reliability, higher efficiency as well as superior power and torque
density, and exemplify our extensive experience in e-mobility
applications."
The 800V oil-cooled eMotors from BorgWarner are available as
either motor assemblies or stator and rotor subassemblies. They
incorporate built-in, permanent magnet rotor and proprietary stator
insulation enhancement technologies, providing premium durability
and reliability. They deliver peak efficiency of over 96% and
feature patented HVH stator winding technology. In addition, the
motor operates with energy efficiency and environmental
friendliness with excellent noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
performance, and up to 4% higher power and torque density compared
to other products of its breed. During vehicle braking and
downhill, the motor can also convert mechanical energy into
electrical energy and charge the battery through the inverter.
BorgWarner has extensive expertise and an esteemed reputation in
the eMotor production industry, boosted by the recent acquisition
of Santroll Automotive Components, a carve-out of Santroll's light
vehicle eMotor business. The acquisition is expected to further
strengthen BorgWarner's vertical integration, scale and portfolio
breadth in light vehicle e-motors while allowing for increased
speed to market.
