AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner has built its 5 millionth turbocharger at its
manufacturing facility in Ningbo,
China. Since 2005, the plant has produced a variety of
turbochargers for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Customers
include global as well as domestic vehicle makers. Engineered to
improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance,
BorgWarner's advanced turbocharging technology is in high demand in
China. As emissions standards
become more stringent, BorgWarner expects the Chinese light vehicle
turbocharger market to more than double by 2019.
Recently, employees at the facility also earned a BorgWarner
CEO's Safety Excellence Award for attaining 1 million hours without
a recordable incident. BorgWarner's safety program not only
recognizes employees for maintaining a safe workplace, but also
supports the local community. The nearly 900 employees at the
facility chose to donate their $20,000 safety award to two local primary
schools.
"At BorgWarner, our passionate pursuit of excellence encompasses
everything we do, from the high-quality products we manufacture to
the safe work environment where we produce them," said Frederic
Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems.
"Congratulations to our employees for achieving these important
milestones."
