AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Jan. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient technology
solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles, supplies
its HVH250 electric motor and eGearDrive® transmission
for the initial launch of the FUSO eCanter truck, the world's first
series-produced all-electric light-duty truck. According to FUSO,
over 200 third generation units are being tested in urban areas.
BorgWarner's scalable HVH250 electric motors deliver
industry-leading torque and power density. With a compact,
low-weight design and highly efficient gear train, BorgWarner's
eGearDrive transmission uses less battery energy, extending
battery-powered driving range.
"For several years, BorgWarner's engineers worked closely with
FUSO on this milestone project," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "We are excited to offer our
efficient, eco-friendly technologies as FUSO paves the way for
powerful and sustainable commercial vehicle mobility."
Instead of conventional round wire windings, BorgWarner's HVH250
electric motor uses precision-formed rectangular wires and multiple
layers of interlocking "hairpins." This patented high voltage
hairpin (HVH) technology enables the HVH250 motor to produce up to
425 Nm of torque and 300 kW of power at 700 volts. Featuring a
compact design for easy integration, the HVH250 electric motor
delivers class-leading efficiency of over 95 percent and provides
better continuous power compared with competitive models.
BorgWarner's family of HVH electric motors is designed for
flexibility, offering scalable torque and output for a range of
light- to heavy-duty applications.
The eGearDrive transmission's compact, low-weight design and
highly efficient gear train achieves high-torque capacity yet uses
less battery energy. In addition to handling high input speeds of
up to 14,000 rpm, the advanced technology offers a wide range of
gear reduction ratios for optimal acceleration for a variety of
motor sizes. An optional electronically actuated park lock system
is available, and since approximately 99 percent of the materials
used in the eGearDrive transmission are recyclable, the technology
also enhances sustainability.
