BorgWarner has secured three new business contracts with a global powertrain technology leader for its turbocharger technologies. The awards include one contract for its variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger and two contracts for wastegate turbochargers. The technologies will be deployed in the customer’s light-vehicle gasoline platforms in South America and Europe.
The contracts cover two key turbocharger technologies developed by BorgWarner for gasoline engine applications. Both are designed to improve engine performance, enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. BorgWarner’s VTG turbochargers for gasoline engines are engineered to operate under demanding conditions while meeting high-boost pressure requirements. The technology is designed to work with Miller-cycle gasoline engines and withstand exhaust temperatures of up to 1,050°C.
The VTG system improves thermodynamic efficiency and provides strong engine response at lower engine speeds, supporting faster acceleration and optimum power delivery. It also helps improve transient performance, reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions.
Commenting on the new business wins, Dr Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies, said the company valued its longstanding relationship with the global powertrain technology leader and the opportunity to support its expanding business requirements.
He added that the contracts reflected the customer’s confidence in BorgWarner’s technology portfolio, competitive solutions and engineering capabilities. The company will continue to work with the customer to develop technologies that support its powertrain requirements.
BorgWarner’s wastegate turbochargers are designed to meet demanding quality and performance standards. They feature scalable compressor and turbine stages that can be configured to meet specific customer requirements. The systems are developed to deliver quick engine response, high power density, improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance, better fuel economy and lower emissions.
The wastegate turbocharger range includes several advanced features also available in the company’s VTG technology. Options include single-scroll, twin-scroll and dual-volute turbine designs. The systems support both pneumatic and electric wastegate actuation, along with an integrated compressor recirculation valve. Dedicated compressor and turbine stages provide flexibility to address different engine configurations and performance requirements.
The three awards strengthen BorgWarner’s position as a supplier of turbocharger technologies for global light-vehicle gasoline applications. The contracts also extend its engagement with the customer across multiple vehicle platforms and markets. BorgWarner is a global automotive supplier headquartered in the United States, known for delivering advanced mobility solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. The company develops and manufactures a broad portfolio of technologies, including turbochargers, transmission systems, power electronics, electric motors and battery systems, serving leading vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
With a strong focus on electrification and sustainability, BorgWarner is expanding its capabilities in electric propulsion and energy-efficient systems to support the industry’s transition toward cleaner mobility. Operating manufacturing and technical facilities across the Americas, Europe and Asia, the company combines engineering expertise with large-scale production to meet evolving regulatory and performance demands in the global automotive sector.
