BorgWarner Wins Three Conquest Turbo Business Awards with Global Powertrain Leader

Wins include both variable turbine geometry (VTG) and wastegate turbochargers. Technology to deploy in customer's light-vehicle gasoline platforms. Turbochargers help reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency.

AUBURN HILLS, MICH. — BorgWarner, a global product leader in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, has captured three conquest business wins with a global powertrain technology leader, including one contract for its variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger and two for its wastegate turbocharger. The technology will be used on the customer's light-vehicle gasoline platforms in South America and Europe.

BorgWarner's VTG turbochargers for gasoline applications are designed to provide reliable operation under demanding operating conditions while meeting high-boost pressure requirements. Engineered for excellent thermodynamic adaptation to Miller-cycle gasoline engines and exhaust temperatures of up to 1050°C, the technology improves thermodynamic efficiency while delivering strong engine response at lower RPMs for nearly instant acceleration and optimum power output. Additionally, the technology helps reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency and enhance transient performance.

"We value our longstanding relationship with this global leader in powertrain technology and the opportunity to support its evolving business and broader commodity strategy," said Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. "These contracts reflect the trust we have established with the customer and the strength of our offerings, including competitive solutions and deep technical expertise. We look forward to continuing to support the customer with innovations that deliver lasting value."

Meeting the highest quality standards, BorgWarner's wastegate turbochargers feature scalable compressor and turbine stages that can be tailored to individual customer requirements. Designed for gasoline applications, the turbochargers deliver excellent response and power density, improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), enhanced fuel economy and reduced emissions. Offering many of the same advanced features as the VTG turbocharger, the wastegate turbocharger is available with single- and twin-scroll, as well as dual-volute turbine designs. It provides both pneumatic and electric actuation for the wastegate and integrated compressor recirculation valve and has a dedicated compressor and turbine stages.

Start of production for all three turbochargers is scheduled for 2027.
