AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient technology
solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, will launch
its electric drive module (eDM) with integrated
eGearDrive® transmission in two pure electric vehicles
from a major Chinese automaker. Production is expected to begin in
summer 2017.
"BorgWarner's new eDM combines our know-how in eGearDrive
transmissions, first launched in 2009, with our newly acquired
expertise in electric motor technology from the former REMY
business," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle,
President and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "Our
first application of this integrated world-class propulsion
solution will be produced locally in China."
BorgWarner's eDM provides primary or secondary propulsion for
pure electric or P4-type hybrid vehicles. The integrated design of
the electric motor and transmission enables weight, cost and space
savings. Since both functions are combined into one housing,
installation is also easier. Based on the vehicle manufacturer's
desired propulsion characteristics, performance is optimized with
various available gear ratios to provide a completely tailored
solution. Featuring patented high voltage hairpin (HVH) technology
and optional power electronics, BorgWarner's HVH 250 electric motor
delivers superior performance with over 95 percent efficiency.
Through its high-efficiency gear train and compact, low-weight
design, the eGearDrive transmission contributes to extended
battery-powered driving range, which in turn reduces the battery
capacity required. An electronically actuated park lock system is
also available.
BorgWarner's comprehensive product portfolio also includes
numerous other leading technologies for hybrid and electric
vehicles, such as the eBooster® electrically driven
compressor, cabin heaters and auxiliary thermal coolant pumps. All
of these technologies support automakers around the world in
designing the clean and efficient vehicles of tomorrow.
