BorgWarner Secures Supply Contract for Turbocharger and EGR Cooler for European Heavy-duty Diesel Platform

BorgWarner has secured a contract to supply a variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler to an unnamed major European commercial vehicle OEM for a Euro 7-compliant, 6-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine, the Michigan-based company announced on May 13, 2026. The components will be used in long-haul truck applications, with production scheduled to start at the end of 2028.

The contract is described as a conquest business win — meaning BorgWarner was not the incumbent supplier and extends the company's existing relationship with the customer.

"We are pleased to further expand our relationship with this customer on our jointly developed turbocharger and EGR cooler business for a premium heavy-duty engine platform," said Dr Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. "This award reflects BorgWarner's ability to combine advanced technology, strong application engineering and competitive solutions to support demanding commercial vehicle applications. We look forward to bringing this jointly developed solution to market."

The VTG turbocharger features a tailored cartridge and turbine housing design, ball bearings for transient response and fuel efficiency, and a high-efficiency compressor. The EGR cooler uses an advanced internal plate design for thermal performance and a floating core architecture intended to improve durability under thermal cycling.

Both components will be manufactured at BorgWarner's facilities in Bradford, United Kingdom, and Vigo, Spain.
