BorgWarner to Present Its Innovative Technologies at EV Japan 2020

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.

As electrified technologies become more and more popular on the auto market, BW puts in significant efforts into development of advanced environmentally friendly solutions to provide its customers with relevant technologies. BW engineers provide a variety of combustion, hybrid and EV propulsion solutions, allowing car manufacturers to comply with stringent emission regulations.

To enhance its product line for EVs, this year BW established a JV undertaking with Romeo Power Technology to produce batteries for EVs. Thanks to the use of conventional cylindrical cells and space-saving designs, these batteries ensure improved energy density. Designed with the use of proprietary technologies, these battery packs provide enhanced operating range and better operating capacity. The scalable designs can be adjusted to particular customer requirements and significantly shorten the time from the product development to entry into the market.

The design of the company’s iDM module includes power electronics, e-motor and transmission solution. The on- and off-axis P2 hybrid modules give automakers a room for maneuvering when it comes to converting their existing automobiles equipped with IC-engines to hybrids without introducing any significant modifications to standard powertrains by placing the e-motor where they have space in existing architectures. Using BW’s cutting-edge S-wind wire-forming process to develop the motor, the P2 drive module generates high power and torque densities in a space-saving package.

The products mentioned above are complemented by the eTurbo™, a supercharger with embedded power electronics and a motor-generator connected to the same single shaft as the turbine. When operating as a motor, it helps the turbine to provide additional air-charge to the engine. The eTurbo can become an extremely helpful solution for major manufacturers working in Europe when it comes to complying with stringent environmental regulations.
