AUBURN
HILLS, Mich., Oct. 27,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner's HVH250
electric motor has been selected to power a European customer's
e-axle for light-duty commercial trucks. This e-axle is designed to
equip new electric light commercial trucks ranging up to 7.5 tons
as well as conversions of existing internal combustion engine
powered fleets of city center delivery vehicles. Production is
expected to begin early 2023.
"While environmental sustainability and fuel economy continues
to be a point of concern for commercial vehicle operators, fleets
are also experiencing increased challenges in urban zero-emissions
zones and noise-sensitive areas," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "An electric drive is the obvious
choice to help navigate these circumstances, and we're delighted
that the low-speed torque advantages of our HVH250 motor will
support our customer's e-axle."
Supported by billions of kilometers of proven reliability,
BorgWarner's high-voltage hairpin (HVH) stator winding technology
enables its electric motors to deliver industry-leading power
density, peak efficiencies of more than 95 percent, and the
ruggedness and durability that commercial vehicle customers expect.
HVH250 motors are available in various stack length, cooling, and
winding configurations as either fully-housed motors or as
rotor/stator assemblies, offering maximum flexibility for
customers.
