BorgWarner has installed a “super-fast” 960kW liquid-cooled high-power supercharging HGV electric charger at the Decathlon warehouse in Goodman Citylink near Beijing.

BorgWarner has announced that it will use FinDreams Battery pack design and cells to manufacture lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs for the European, North American and Asian Pacific Commercial Vehicle (CV) markets.

The HVCH is expected to go into production in Q1 2026. This is the third contract that has been secured for this product, which is specifically designed for the heating of a BEV’s battery and cabin.

The EUR 75 million takeover of Eldor’s EHS segment, includes, on-board chargers (OBCs), DC/DC converters, and integrated high voltage boxes, all of which are expected to complement BorgWarner’s existing product portfolio.

The company has announced plans to replace its current Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Kevin Nowlan, who is retiring at the end of February, with Craig Aaron, BorgWarner’s current Vice President and Controller.

BorgWarner is set to supply its Combined Inverter and DC/DC Converter (CIDD) units to an unnamed European OEM. This product is designed to manage both a vehicle's electric drive and its accessory systems, and it maximises the vehicle's power density.

The partnership could be worth up to USD 1 billion and in a statement, BorgWarner said ‘it plans to integrate Onsemi’s EliteSiC 1200 V and 750 V power devices into its power modules for traction inverters.’

The 64,000 square metre facility in San Luis Potosi will house a new manufacturing facility for power electronic components and electric motors with 380 new jobs to be created over the next five years. The facility is planned to come on line incrementally with phase 1 beginning in Q2 2024.

As part of its transformation towards eMobility the company has officially unveiled a new logo, which it says is more representative of its “Charging Forward” strategy.

June saw the start of series production of Mercedes-Benz eO500U electric bus chassis on the modern Bus Chassis Production Line at the Mercedes-Benz do Brasil plant in São Bernardo do Campo (SP).

Plans by BorgWarner to spin off the Fuel Systems and Aftermarket segments were first announced in December 2022 under its “Charging Forward” strategy.
