BorgWarner to Unveil New Propulsion Solutions at IAA

BorgWarner, which is one of the market leaders when it comes to clean and efficient technology for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, will unveil new propulsion solutions at the 67th edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show. The International Motor Show (IAA) Cars, Frankfurt a sit is officially known is scheduled to be held from September 14 to 24 this year and will be a platform for key European OEMs and automotive manufacturers to showcase their products and services.

At the show, BorgWarner will focus on the latest trends in the automotive industry such as e-mobility,  connected cars, autonomous driving and urban mobility concepts. It will also use the show to showcase its solutions for the vehicles of the future including a complete range of propulsion systems from internal combustion to hybrid and electric vehicle technology.

Commenting on the company’s participation in the show, James R Verrier, president and CEO, BorgWarner said that in future we are likely to see a wide variety of systems ranging from highly efficient combustion engines to a spectrum of hybrid architectures and pure electric propulsion systems.  He added that to meet the requirements of such a diverse market, the company had a broad portfolio of technologies for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles to facilitate connected and autonomous driving, and to provide support to automotive manufacturers across the globe as they work on dealing with the challenges of the future.

BorgWarner believes that combustion engines will still have relevance in the future and is working on developing more powerful, cleaner and more efficient variants of the internal combustion engine. The demand for hybridization is increasing at a fast rate due to more stringent emissions standards in key markets.

Hence, BorgWarner has worked on many hybrid propulsion architectures, ranging from from P1-type hybrids (where the electric motor is directly attached to the engine) to P4-type hybrids (where the combustion engine and e-motor drive different axles). The company has a comprehensive electrified propulsion portfolio for mild, full and plug-in HEVs.

BorgWarner also has a product range spanning almost all electric propulsion areas including electric motors, power transmission, power electronics and thermal management, enabling the company to support automakers worldwide for their needs.
