AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner supplies its advanced variable turbine geometry
(VTG) turbochargers for the newly developed 1.4-liter
three-cylinder diesel engines from the Volkswagen Group. Engineered
to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, BorgWarner's VTG
turbochargers boost the performance of the 55 kW (75 PS) and 66 kW
(90 PS) diesel engines. Both engines comply with Euro 6 emissions standards and set new benchmarks
by improving fuel economy up to 21 percent compared with the
predecessor vehicles. Debuting in the VW Polo, the 55 kW diesel
engine powers one of the most fuel-efficient 5-seat diesel cars in
its segment and achieves an average fuel consumption up to 75 mpg
(3.1 liters/100 km). Based on the modular diesel engine system, the
fuel-efficient and low-emission engines will be available for
several vehicles from Audi, Seat, Škoda and VW.
"We value our successful and long-standing partnership with the
Volkswagen Group," said Frédéric Lissalde, President and General
Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. "BorgWarner is pleased to
provide its latest turbocharging technology for Volkswagen's modern
diesel engines to achieve optimum power output with improved fuel
economy."
BorgWarner's latest VTG turbocharging technology provides
precise adjustment to the relevant engine operating points for
optimum power output. To improve thermodynamics and engine response
at very low rpm, BorgWarner's patented S-shaped guide vanes
regulate VTG turbine output by changing the inflow angle and speed
at the turbine wheel inlet. The new turbocharger significantly
improves engine response and increases efficiency in the low rev
band, resulting in increased combustion efficiency and reduced
emissions.
