AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner produces 2-speed Torque-On-Demand®
transfer cases for the recently launched Foton Motor's Sauvana SUV.
BorgWarner's Torque-On-Demand technology automatically
redistributes torque from the rear wheels to the front wheels
without driver intervention for improved traction, increased
stability and enhanced dynamics.
"Drivers will appreciate the seamless control of BorgWarner's
Torque-On-Demand technology. Without flipping a switch or turning a
dial, the system automatically delivers the traction needed for
nearly any road or weather condition," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. "BorgWarner is pleased to provide
localized manufacturing for Foton Motors, supplying this advanced
technology from our facility in Beijing."
BorgWarner's Torque-On-Demand technology works directly with the
vehicle's control systems. Monitoring signals such as steering
wheel angle, accelerator pedal position and wheel speed, the
vehicle's control systems command the transfer case to deliver the
required amount of torque to the front and rear axles. To enhance
performance and fuel efficiency, the aluminum housing reduces total
vehicle weight. The all-wheel drive transfer case is also equipped
with BorgWarner's HY-VO® transfer case chain, optimized
for high-efficiency and durable performance.
