Recent Highlights:
BorgWarner produces S-Series turbochargers for Mercedes-Benz Actros heavy-duty trucks powered by its new engine, now produced in Brazil.

BorgWarner celebrated its plant opening in Oroszlány, Hungary, on July 28, 2015. The wholly-owned campus provides production capacity for advanced all-wheel drive (AWD) solutions such as transfer cases, feeder pumps, valves and AWD couplings for global automakers.

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.

BorgWarner received a 2015 General Motors Supplier IMPACT Award for demonstrating top performance in the Diversity Spend Percentage to Goal category and excelling in the Significantly Improved category. General Motors' annual Supplier IMPACT meeting highlighted strategic Tier 1 suppliers that have made a strong impact on their company’s supply chain with certified, diverse suppliers.

BorgWarner received a 2014 World Excellence Award in the Aligned Business Framework category for exemplifying the Ford Motor Company’s principles of quality, value and innovation.

Recent Highlights (continued):
BorgWarner supplies Eco-Launch™ stop/start accumulator technology and multi-segment wet friction plates for the new 8-speed rear-wheel drive automatic transmission (8L45) from General Motors. To enable the transmission’s stop/start functionality, BorgWarner’s Eco-Launch hydraulic accumulator and solenoid valve provide rapid, quiet and smooth engagements during engine restarts. BorgWarner’s advanced friction plate technology reduces drag and enhances shift feel. Improving fuel economy up to 5 percent compared with similar 6-speed automatic transmissions, the 8L45 transmission will debut on the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and will also drive the 2016 Cadillac CTS and ATS.

BorgWarner produces its mini direct-acting variable force solenoid (VFS) for the 2016 Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet Malibu hybrid and Cadillac ELR as well as future General Motors (GM) vehicle applications powered by the same transmission. Designed to deliver increased accuracy with significantly lower leakage, the advanced solenoid reduces parasitic losses from the transmission oil pump, saving battery power to propel the vehicle.
