AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient
technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles,
debuts its 48-volt eBooster® electrically driven compressor in
Daimler's latest 3.0-liter gasoline engine. The engine will feature
the eBooster technology matched with a BorgWarner-supplied
turbocharger to improve fuel efficiency, enhance low-end torque and
deliver boost on demand without any perceptible turbo lag.
"Our market-leading eBooster technology enables 6-cylinder
engines to deliver the same performance and even more fun-to-drive
experience as a much larger conventional V8," said Frédéric
Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems.
"By enabling engine downsizing, eBooster technology improves fuel
efficiency by 5 to 10 percent in combustion and hybrid
vehicles."
BorgWarner's eBooster electrically driven compressor delivers
boost on demand until the turbocharger takes over, improving boost
at low engine speeds and nearly eliminating turbo lag. Featuring a
brushless DC motor, durable samarium-cobalt magnets and highly
efficient power electronics, the compact eBooster technology offers
automakers flexible packaging options and can be adapted to a wide
range of hybrid or combustion applications.
Mass production of BorgWarner's eBooster solution is currently
ramping up with the innovative system launching first with three
global automakers, including Daimler.
