AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner is expanding capacity in Ningbo, China, with a new production line for
its latest exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves. Engineered to
reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions for passenger cars
and commercial vehicles, BorgWarner's advanced EGR valves deliver
precise and responsive control, higher operating pressures and flow
rates, excellent sealing and corrosion resistance. The new line
will meet increasing customer demand through localized production.
BorgWarner expects to supply its latest EGR technology to a large
Chinese automaker beginning in May
2015.
"With BorgWarner's latest expansion, we are strengthening our
leadership position in the rapidly evolving Chinese automotive
market for environmentally friendly technologies," said
Brady Ericson, President and General
Manager, BorgWarner Emissions Systems. "Since 2006, our production
facility in Ningbo has become home
to an entire family of state-of-the-art emissions products, from
EGR valves, coolers and modules to ignition coils, secondary air
systems and thermostats. As demand increases, we expect production
of our advanced emissions technologies to escalate
significantly."
BorgWarner's latest EGR valve features an advanced compact
actuator with a DC motor to deliver high torque, fast response and
reliable operation. Integrated sensors provide feedback to a
closed-loop control system, positioning the valve to precisely
control recirculated exhaust gas. Compared with previous
technologies, BorgWarner's latest EGR valve delivers higher
actuation force, greater flow capability and more flexible mounting
orientations. For improved heat and corrosion resistance, the main
components of the EGR valve are constructed from stainless
steel.
