BorgWarner Inc. (BW) and Delphi Technologies PLC have recently reached an agreement on a final transaction agreement under which BW will take over Delphi Technologies (DT) in an all-stock transaction that estimates assets of the latter at about $3.3 bln.

BorgWarner plans to present its sophisticated technical solutions intended for hybrid and electric vehicles at the EV Japan 2020 trade show, held early next year in Tokyo. Visitors of the BW’s booth will have a chance to see a full range of e-mobility solutions, including e-motors, battery and transmission units, power electronics, eTurbo technology and temperature control solutions.

Recently, it has transpired that BorgWarner (BW) has sold its branch Morse TEC, which is responsible for asbestos and fulfillment of other environmental obligations, to Enstar Holdings (US).

BorgWarner (BW) has recently entered into an agreement with one of China’s major New Energy Vehicle (NEV) brands to provide the fully integrated drive module (iDM) for their EVs. This kind of cooperation represents BW’s 1-st iDM undertaking in China. The company’s EV system solution combines high-capacity power electronics with an advanced gearbox unit and drive motor having a HV hairpin stator.

AW Texas, an affiliate of Aisin AW Co. Ltd., broke ground on its 3-rd transmission production facility in the US. The 159-acre plant, placed in Cibolo, TX, will be specialized in manufacturing of automatic transmission units. This promising project should create about 900 new jobs to the area during the next 5 years.

Recently, it became known that BorgWarner (BW) has officially taken on the obligation to provide its cutting-edge triple-clutch P2 drive module and electro-hydraulic control unit to ChangAn Automobile, a major Chinese supplier of auto parts, within the terms of the recently signed agreement.

Thanks to huge experience and high proficiency, BW engineers came up with the Torque-Vectoring Dual-Clutch unit, which contains 2 clutches, replacing the standard differential unit in an electric driveline. Conventional torque-vectoring solutions need 2 e-machines in the rear, which are quite pricy and weighty, while BW’s technology saves weight and space in the driveline, having a positive impact on total efficiency of the car.

Not only modern highly-sophisticated units can leave a lasting impression and that there has never been some place for ingenuity in the field of the transmission development. For instance, we can look back to the 1980s when the Chevy Corvette C4 hit the market with a mysterious 'Doug Nash 4+3' manual transmission.

ZF has recently announced the appointment of Dr. Martin Fischer, former Hella and BorgWarner (BW) executive, as a new member of the ZF executive board. It is planned that Mr. Fisher will join the board in early November and take the lead in driver assist systems, electronics, active and passive safety, the North and South America regions, and corporate quality.

According to a recent report by S&P Global Market Intelligence, share price of BorgWarner (BW), an American worldwide automotive industry components and parts supplier, plunged by 13.7% in August. Experts assume that this disappointing figure can be associated with negative forecasts on global light vehicle production and as repercussions from a disappointing Q2 profit-and-loss report from BW.

BorgWarner (BW), one of the leading suppliers of automotive systems and spare parts, has recently presented its cutting-edge solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles at IAA 2019 in Frankfurt. The list of exhibited products included the following: battery packages, transmission solutions, P2 hybrid modules, eAxle iDM, innovative e-Turbo technology, e- motors, power electronics and thermal control units.

In the early 50-es, automatic transmissions were widely used on many American cars. The success of this innovative transmission didn’t go unnoticed in the USSR. In this article, we will consider the main stages of transmission technologies development in the USSR on the examples of major Soviet carmakers ZIL, GAZ, and VAZ.

BorgWarner (BW) has been putting great efforts in development of its drive modules. These innovative products make a significant contribution to further development of future pure electric drives. Recently, BW presented its new integrated drive module (iDM).

Design solutions implemented in Honda cars frequently surprise the automobile community by peculiar technological approaches. One of the brightest examples is the design of automatic transmissions developed by Honda engineers. In this article, we will consider the main features of Honda automatic transmissions, their pros and cons, as well as the specifics of their maintenance.

Recently, it has transpired that BorgWarner plans to provide its top-of-the-line electro-hydraulically driven AWD coupling for Geely's Lynk & Co's first model, the 01. As a startup automobile business owned by Geely Auto, Lynk & Co tends to use advanced manufacturing technologies and selling strategies.

The Viscous Coupling (VC) is the transmission component intended for transmission and leveling of torque from the center drive shaft to the front differential, and on to the front wheels. In contrast to the hydraulic coupling and torque converter, the VC uses a different operating principle: torque is transmitted not through dynamic properties of fluid flow, but thanks to viscous properties of the fluid, which fills the internal space of the VC.

BorgWarner (BW) has recently announced that its electromechanical on-demand (EMOD) transfer case will be applied in the 2019 Ram 1500 vehicles. EMOD technology is based on well-known BW’s TOD technology, which provides active “On-Demand” AWD capability.

BorgWarner (BW), a leading company in environment-oriented technologies for combustion, hybrid and electric cars, will supply its Eco-Launch stop/start solenoid-operated valve and a hydraulically-actuated accumulator for Ford cars with the front-wheel drive.

BorgWarner has recently informed that the up-to-date VW Crafter vehicle will be equipped with 2 variants of its electro-hydraulically activated 4WD coupling. This space-saving and light-weighted engineering 4WD concept ensures well-spread torque between forward and back axles that result in enhanced torque-carrying capability, fuel efficiency and better car responsiveness on various types of the road surface.

BorgWarner reported that the company provided new Volvo’s XC40 vehicle with its up-to-date 4WD coupling to improve running characteristics and driver’s convenience. Due to the company’s experience in designing 4WD solutions, the coupling gives not only better dynamics but also traction for the first-rate driving experience.

BorgWarner provides its e-motor HVH250 and eGearDrive gearbox for primary production of Fuso eCanter trucks, the 1-st mass manufactured fully electric light truck. For implementation of this idea BorgWarner specialists have been cooperating with Fuso, the Japanese manufacturer of trucks and buses.

BorgWarner completed the takeover of Sevcon Company located in the UK. Having more than fifty years of proven record and efficiently operating development centers, Sevcon received a reputation of a welcomed partner for many companies interested in the fast-growing electrification market.

Recently BorgWarner developed P2 module for HEVs which should be another step to more highly-efficient and environment oriented cars. This product will be manufactured in 2 modifications (on- and off-axis) and may be integrated in currently used drivetrains.
