"Our partnership with the Hyundai Motor Company spans two
decades, and we're delighted to continue our relationship by
supplying our latest technology for the company's newest
electrification project," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner
PowerDrive Systems. "Our iDM proved an ideal fit for the customers'
electric propulsion system during our first EV collaboration, and
we look forward to contributing industry-leading electrification
solutions to assist the company in meeting its future
sustainability goals."
BorgWarner's iDM146 is comprised of an interior permanent magnet
(IPM) electric motor of 146mm stator outer diameter equipped with
high voltage hairpin (HVH) technology for high power density and
efficiency as well as a BorgWarner inverter with a Viper power

peak power output of 135kW, although its modular design allows
power and torque output to be scaled specifically to customer
