AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner produces S-Series turbochargers for
Mercedes-Benz Actros heavy-duty trucks powered by its new engine,
now produced in Brazil. BorgWarner
supports the company with localized manufacturing for its entire
Euro V engine line, producing turbochargers at its facility in
Itatiba City, Brazil. BorgWarner
received a 2014 Mercedes-Benz Brazil Supplier Award in the
Innovation Technology category for its successful turbocharger
launch for the new Mercedes-Benz Euro V engine families in
South America.
"BorgWarner has been producing turbochargers for commercial
vehicles in Brazil for 40 years.
At our new facility in Itatiba, we have added capacity to help our
customers increase Brazilian-made content in their vehicles," said
Frederic Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo
Systems. "In Brazil, commercial trucks transport the vast majority
of goods throughout the country, carrying heavy loads over rough
roads and varying elevations. BorgWarner's turbochargers deliver
the proven performance and durability on which long distance and
construction haulers depend."
For modern commercial vehicle applications, turbocharger life
often depends on the durability of the compressor impeller. For
greater reliability even under consistently extreme loads,
BorgWarner's S-series turbochargers feature forged and milled
titanium impellers, which resist low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high
cycle fatigue (HCF) better than aluminum alloys. Dual-flow turbine
housings divide exhaust gas flow to better utilize pulse energy to
drive the turbine wheel, obtaining more power from the exhaust for
dynamic response and high efficiency.
