AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
July 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner delivers its innovative pre-emptive on-demand
transfer case for multiple Jaguar models. Initially available for
the new Jaguar XF, BorgWarner will also provide the all-wheel drive
(AWD) technology for the Jaguar XE and F-PACE crossover. BorgWarner
produces the AWD transfer case for the Jaguar XF at its newly built
energy-efficient facility in Oroszlány, Hungary. Jaguar Land Rover is the first
European automaker to feature BorgWarner's advanced AWD
solution.
"We are pleased to expand our long-standing cooperation with
Jaguar Land Rover by providing several vehicle models with our
innovative pre-emptive on-demand transfer case," said Dr.
Stefan Demmerle, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "Our
state-of-the-art AWD solution helps customers achieve their
ambitious efficiency and weight targets, and enables accelerated
development cycles. Additionally, the transfer case offers superior
dynamic performance and drivability."
BorgWarner's pre-emptive on-demand transfer case directly
connects to the vehicle's control systems, which monitor signals
such as steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal position and wheel
speed. To optimize AWD function, pressure from BorgWarner's
patented lightweight centrifugal electro-hydraulic actuator (CEH)
compresses the clutch pack to distribute torque between the front
and rear axle as needed. The AWD transfer case offers pre-emptive
and precise linear clutch actuation for immediate response,
enhanced vehicle traction and stability control. In addition, it is
equipped with BorgWarner's HY-VO® transfer case chain,
which is optimized for high efficiency and durable performance. The
transfer case also features an innovative pumpless design and sump
management for improved fuel economy. To enhance performance and
fuel efficiency, the compact chain and gear drive options reduce
total vehicle weight and facilitate optimum packaging for
space-constrained applications.
