"Our newest facility will enable BorgWarner to strengthen its
market-leading position in EGR coolers and meet growing demand with
a complete range of EGR products for both passenger cars and
commercial diesel vehicles," said Brady
Ericson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions
Systems. "We are investing in local production as well as local
testing to support our customers quickly with system-based
solutions tailored to their specific needs."
Today's downsized engines generate higher temperatures in the
combustion chamber forming nitrogen oxide (NOx).
BorgWarner's EGR technologies help automakers reduce NOx
to meet stringent emissions regulations by recirculating and
cooling exhaust gases to reduce combustion temperatures.
BorgWarner's extensive expertise in advanced EGR technologies
covers the entire system. BorgWarner's valves control exhaust gases
that flow through tubes to a cooler where gas temperatures drop to
130 degrees C - 175 degrees C and then return to the
combustion chamber. The valves are driven by robust actuators,
built for durability and performance. BorgWarner EGR systems are
engineered for nearly any application from passenger cars to
commercial trucks.
BorgWarner's new environmentally friendly facility in
India makes maximum use of natural
light, features LED lighting to conserve energy and harvests
rainwater for landscaping and sanitation.
