Car Conference and Exhibition in Novi, Michigan. Sponsored by

world, BorgWarner is known as a technology leader whose products
improve fuel economy and emissions while boosting performance. We
believe that advanced technology can give us the best of both
worlds -- an exhilarating driving experience and environmentally
friendly vehicles," said Roger Wood, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems. "We are proud that our
products protect the environment and honored to accept this
recognition of our efforts." BorgWarner Chairman and CEO Tim
Manganello was a featured panelist at the conference, discussing
how technological advances in the powertrains of the future can
reduce our environmental impact on the planet. BorgWarner's R2S(R)
regulated two-stage turbocharging system consists of two
series-connected turbochargers: a smaller unit (referred to as the
high-pressure turbocharger) and a larger unit (known as the
low-pressure turbocharger). At low engine speeds, the smaller
high-pressure turbocharger ensures spontaneous engine response
without "turbo lag." With increasing engine speed, the larger
low-pressure turbocharger gradually takes over more of the work,
ensuring constantly increasing power and high output torque across
a wide range of engine speeds. The combination allows car makers to
offer low-fuel-consumption, efficient, downsized engines with the
dynamic response and high peak output power of a larger engine, all
with lower emissions. BorgWarner's R2S(R) technology has been
awarded multiple patents, and more are pending. The first
large-scale passenger car production with an R2S(R) regulated
two-stage turbocharging system was launched in 2005 on the BMW
535d, available in Europe, and in 2006 on Ford F-Series
Super-Duty(R) trucks. To date, BorgWarner's R2S(R) regulated
two-stage turbocharging system has also entered into series
production on Fiat, Daimler and MAN vehicles. Auburn Hills,
