AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner was honored by Volvo Cars with an Award of
Excellence in the category "Cost Competitiveness" during a ceremony
held recently at Volvo Cars in Gothenburg, Sweden. BorgWarner delivers a
variety of leading turbocharging technologies to Volvo Cars,
including regulated two-stage (R2S®) systems for diesel
engines and turbochargers with a modular design for gasoline
engines. These leading technologies are engineered to improve fuel
economy, reduce emissions and increase performance in numerous
engines.
"We are very pleased to receive this prestigious award from
Volvo Cars. It honors BorgWarner's collaboration with Volvo Cars
and our primary objective to provide customers with leading
turbocharging technologies," said Frédéric Lissalde, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "Our customers expect us
to launch flawlessly and offer first-class quality as well as the
best possible service at a competitive cost. At BorgWarner, we
passionately pursue excellence, constantly optimizing our
manufacturing standards and improving quality. I would like to
thank our employees for their unmatched dedication. We look forward
to continuing our successful partnership with Volvo Cars."
BorgWarner's R2S turbocharging technology for diesel engines
combines two turbochargers of different sizes. At low engine
speeds, the entire exhaust gas flow is directed to the smaller,
high-pressure turbocharger, resulting in a quick rise in boost
pressure. At higher engine speeds, the wastegate valve opens, and
the exhaust gas is redirected to the larger low-pressure
turbocharger. By optimizing the full engine speed range, the R2S
turbocharging system helps improve fuel economy and reduce
emissions while enhancing performance.
The turbochargers for Volvo Cars gasoline engine platform are
fitted with a wastegate to prevent charge pressure at a very high
engine power. To provide a high degree of commonality between
engine parts in a compact design, BorgWarner engineers developed a
sheet metal turbine housing with a virtually identical external
geometry suitable for use in all engines. Built to deliver powerful
yet efficient performance, BorgWarner's turbocharging technologies
provide excellent torque characteristics over the entire engine
speed range while improving fuel economy.
