Development history: From traditional internal combustion engines to new energy power systems

BorgWarner's history can be traced back to 1928, when the company started out as a manufacturer of clutch and transmission parts. After nearly a century of development, BorgWarner has grown from an initial small parts supplier to a comprehensive enterprise covering the entire powertrain system. Throughout its long history of development, BorgWarner has always kept up with industry trends and has continuously consolidated its leading position in the industry through continuous technological innovation and market expansion.

In particular, in the past few decades, BorgWarner has made remarkable achievements in the research and development of key components such as turbochargers, valve trains, and transmission control modules. For example, in 2007, among the "Top Ten Engines in the World" selected by Ward's magazine, six engines used systems or components provided by BorgWarner. This achievement fully demonstrates BorgWarner's strong strength in the field of engine technology.

However, in the face of increasingly stringent emission regulations and consumers' concerns about environmental performance, BorgWarner did not stick to the traditional internal combustion engine business, but actively deployed in the field of new energy vehicles. In recent years, the company has increased its investment in hybrid and pure electric vehicle related technologies, and successfully launched a variety of key components for new energy vehicles, including motor controllers and inverters. These new products not only help BorgWarner open up new growth space, but also make important contributions to the green transformation of the global automotive industry.

Core business and product lines: Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the power system

As a supplier focusing on power systems, BorgWarner has a very rich product line, covering almost all key components required for engine operation. Specifically, BorgWarner's core business is mainly divided into the following aspects:

• Turbocharger System: BorgWarner is one of the world's leading turbocharger manufacturers, and its products are widely used in gasoline, diesel and natural gas engines. By using advanced materials and technologies, BorgWarner's turbochargers can improve engine efficiency while reducing emissions.
• Valvetrain: BorgWarner's variable cam timing (VCT) technology can adjust the intake and exhaust valve opening time according to actual operating conditions, thereby optimizing the combustion process and improving fuel economy. In addition, the company also provides high-performance valve trains such as dual overhead camshafts (DOHC).
• Transmission Control Systems: BorgWarner has developed a range of efficient and reliable control modules and actuators for automatic transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions. These products help improve shifting smoothness and response speed while reducing energy loss.
• Thermal Management System: To meet the stringent temperature control requirements of modern engines, BorgWarner has designed innovative components such as coolant pumps, oil pumps and air conditioning compressors. These products can maintain optimal operating temperatures under various operating conditions and extend engine life.
• New energy vehicle solutions: With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, BorgWarner has quickly entered this emerging field and launched a complete electric drive system including motors, inverters, and reducers. The high efficiency and compact structure of these products make them an ideal choice for many OEMs.

In addition to the above main businesses, BorgWarner also has deep accumulation in the fields of exhaust aftertreatment, starter motors, etc. By integrating the advantageous resources of different business units, BorgWarner can provide customers with one-stop power system solutions to help them cope with complex and changing market demands.

Technological innovation: the key driving force for industry progress

As a technology-oriented company, BorgWarner has always regarded R&D as the core competitiveness of its development. Every year, BorgWarner invests a lot of money in the development of new technologies and new products to ensure that it is always at the forefront of the industry. Currently, BorgWarner has established multiple R&D centers around the world, bringing together thousands of outstanding engineers and scientists to work together to solve various challenges in the field of power systems.

In the field of traditional internal combustion engines, BorgWarner focuses on how to further improve thermal efficiency and reduce emissions. For example, the electronic wastegate technology developed by the company can achieve more precise pressure control, thereby improving the efficiency of the turbocharger; and its high-pressure direct injection system can improve combustion by increasing injection pressure.

In the field of new energy vehicles, BorgWarner has also demonstrated strong innovation capabilities. The company pioneered the integrated drive axle (iDM) solution, which integrates the motor, inverter and reducer into one, greatly simplifying the vehicle assembly process and reducing weight. In addition, BorgWarner has also developed the industry-leading silicon carbide power module. This new material has higher switching frequency and lower energy loss, which is very suitable for electric vehicle high-voltage platforms.

It is worth mentioning that BorgWarner also pays great attention to digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing. By introducing advanced technologies such as big data analysis and artificial intelligence, BorgWarner not only improves production efficiency and product quality, but also provides customers with a more personalized service experience. For example, based on remote monitoring and predictive maintenance functions, BorgWarner can help customers detect potential failures in advance and take preventive measures, thereby minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Global layout: Serving the world's major automotive markets

As a truly global company, BorgWarner has established numerous production bases, sales offices and technical centers around the world to better serve local customers. So far, BorgWarner's business footprint has spread across North America, Europe, Asia and other regions, forming a complete supply chain network.
