AUBURN
HILLS, Mich., May 4, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner, a global product leader in delivering
innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the vehicle
market, has been selected to provide HVH eMotors to a leading
automotive manufacturer in China.
The eMotors will be used in the Chinese automaker's DHT and REEV,
with mass production expected to start in August 2023 in Tianjin.
"BorgWarner's HVH motor, in these applications, features a
powerful, durable and high-performance electric generator that
further solidifies BorgWarner's leading position in the DHT and
REEV markets," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager of BorgWarner
PowerDrive Systems. "We are excited to supply this leading Chinese
OEM with our new motor application, strengthening our partnership
by providing them with the support needed to meet the growing
challenges in New Energy Vehicles."
This HVH motor uses a compact design with an optimized
conductor-winding structure that shortens the motor, making it
suitable for smaller installation space, and improves efficiency on
major driving cycles.
Additionally, the motor has been designed with a reduction in
heavy rare earth elements, leading to a lower motor cost. The
optimization of the auxiliary slot provides reduced motor NVH
levels, meeting customer requirements for a quieter vehicle, offers
optimal cost and increased efficiency.
