Michigan, United States- BorgWarner Inc., has won a major contract to supply turbochargers to a leading East Asian automotive OEM for its 1.6L hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) SUV applications in Korea. This agreement strengthens BorgWarner’s 18-year partnership with the customer and reaffirms its position as a trusted provider of advanced boosting technologies.
Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, said, “This award underscores our commitment to delivering high-performance, efficient turbocharging solutions that support the customer’s ambitious HEV growth strategy, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. Our advanced wastegate turbocharger technology is a key enabler of fuel economy and driving performance, and we are proud to continue our trusted partnership.”
The awarded wastegate turbocharger is designed to meet the stringent demands of modern hybrid powertrains, featuring a robust actuator and optimized valve design for precise boost control across varying engine loads and driving conditions. This enables faster transient response, smoother acceleration, and improved overall drivability.
Engineered for high thermal durability and mechanical reliability, the turbocharger is built to withstand the elevated exhaust temperatures typical of hybrid vehicles. Its component-level design minimizes friction and thermal losses, contributing to better fuel economy and lower emissions.
Production is set to begin in 2027 at BorgWarner’s Pyongtaek facility in Korea, ensuring local manufacturing support and supply chain efficiency for the regional market.
