AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner debuts its Electro-Mechanical On-Demand (EMOD)
transfer case on the 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 pickup truck. Building on
BorgWarner's proven Torque-On-Demand® clutching system,
the new EMOD technology delivers faster response and higher torque
output for better on- and off-road performance. For automakers, the
scalable system offers easy traction calibration and integration
for a variety of vehicles, from small SUVs to heavy-duty pickup
trucks.
"BorgWarner's new EMOD transfer case features unmatched clutch
control and actuation capabilities," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "BorgWarner has supplied on-demand
transfer cases to Ram since 2010. We are proud to introduce our
latest advancements in the next-generation Ram 1500."
The heart of BorgWarner's new EMOD transfer case is a
motor-driven rotational cam mechanism which provides both
robust clutch control and range shift function. The active clutch
actuation technology delivers higher torque output, linear clutch
response and pre-emptive clutch locking torque with zero rear wheel
spin. For hill parking, the system offers the capability to hold
front/rear locking torque when the ignition is off. In addition,
the EMOD transfer case is equipped with BorgWarner's
HY-VO® driveline chain, optimized for high efficiency
and durable performance.
