BorgWarner announced that it has secured three turbocharger contracts from an unnamed global 'powertrain technology leader', comprising one award for its variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger and two for its wastegate turbocharger.
The components will be integrated into the customer's light-vehicle gasoline platforms across South America and Europe, with commercial production scheduled to commence in 2027.
The VTG turbochargers are engineered to operate under high-boost pressure and manage exhaust temperatures up to 1050°C, providing thermodynamic adaptation for Miller-cycle gasoline engines. Meanwhile, the wastegate turbochargers feature scalable turbine and compressor stages available in single-scroll, twin-scroll, and dual-volute designs with pneumatic or electric actuation. Both technologies aim to improve fuel efficiency, enhance transient response at lower RPMs, and reduce vehicle emissions.
"We value our longstanding relationship with this global leader in powertrain technology and the opportunity to support its evolving business and broader commodity strategy," said Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. "These contracts reflect the trust we have established with the customer and the strength of our offerings, including competitive solutions and deep technical expertise".
