BorgWarner has secured multiple eMotor business awards in China, covering a range of electrified and hybrid vehicle applications. The new programmes expand the company’s customer base and extend the deployment of its eMotor technologies across next-generation vehicle platforms. Production is expected to commence between 2027 and 2028.
The awards include BorgWarner’s first eMotor programme with the China joint venture operations of a leading global original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Under the programme, the company will supply high-voltage hairpin P1 eMotor stator and rotor assemblies for a next-generation range-extended vehicle platform.
The motor will deliver 115 kW of peak power, compared with 100 kW in the previous generation. It is designed to provide additional power during rapid acceleration while supporting electricity generation during range-extending operation. An optimised cooling structure and improved efficiency across the operating range are intended to support vehicle efficiency and reliability.
In another programme, BorgWarner will continue supplying high-voltage hairpin main drive eMotor stator and rotor assemblies for the next-generation SUV platforms of a leading Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer. Designed for a 715V high-voltage architecture, the solution delivers 300 kW of peak power and 495 Nm of peak torque. Its customised stator and permanent-magnet rotor assemblies are engineered to meet the high power and torque density requirements of traction applications.
The third award involves the supply of stator and rotor assemblies for a 130 kW P2 eMotor to an electric drive system supplier. The motor incorporates BorgWarner’s proprietary S-winding technology, featuring a continuous-wave winding configuration designed to support compact packaging, lower alternating-current losses and high power density. It will be integrated into hybrid propulsion systems for several vehicle programmes intended for global markets.
Commenting on the awards, Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems, said, “We are pleased to establish and expand our eMotor business with customers across China. The breadth of these programmes demonstrates our ability to address diverse application requirements through strong product performance, cost optimisation and localised manufacturing. With our established engineering and production footprint in China, we are well positioned to support customers as they develop their next generation of electrified vehicles.”
BorgWarner’s next-generation eMotor technologies incorporate advances in power output, power density and energy efficiency. Optimised electromagnetic designs and cooling structures are intended to improve peak efficiency and extend the high-efficiency operating range, helping reduce vehicle energy consumption under different driving conditions.
The company’s in-house engineering capabilities and local manufacturing presence support product development, production readiness and delivery for customers. The latest awards further strengthen its position in China’s electrified propulsion market and expand its participation across range-extended, battery-electric and hybrid vehicle platforms.
