AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner's reputation as a leading supplier of hybrid
vehicle systems was further strengthened by the news that a major
European commercial vehicle manufacturer has chosen the company's
proven High Voltage Hairpin (HVH) 410 electric motor for a plug-in
hybrid electric truck (PHEV) to be launched in 2019. The electric
motor is a key component in a range of vehicles including urban and
night-time delivery trucks and waste handling vehicles. Generating
130 kW (174 hp) of power and 1,050 Nm of torque, the HVH motor will
work in parallel with an inline five-cylinder engine that runs on
hydro treated vegetable oil (HVO) or diesel. The HVH motor will
also regeneratively charge the battery pack during braking or
downhill coasting.
"We are excited that our powerful and durable electric motor has
been chosen for this important plug-in hybrid application, which
will be a game-changer in the field of urban distribution trucks
and night-time deliveries," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner
PowerDrive Systems. "It follows the use of our HVH410 technology on
citywide hybrid buses, reinforcing our position as a global leader
in technologies that help vehicle manufacturers meet emerging
market demands and operate in zero-emissions zones as well as noise
sensitive areas."
BorgWarner's HVH410 electric motors are available as fully
housed motors or as rotor/stator assemblies. Instead of
conventional round wire windings, they use precision-formed
rectangular wires and multiple layers of interlocking "hairpins".
The patented high-voltage (650 volt) HVH technology enables the
versatile and powerful electric motors to deliver a maximum torque
of 2,000 Nm and a power output of up to 300 kW (402 hp) with peak
efficiencies exceeding 95 percent.
Featuring compact dimensions and individually customizable stack
length, BorgWarner HVH electric motors provide tailor-made
solutions for the specific requirements of customers. Cooling and
winding configurations allow easy integration into almost all
electric and hybrid applications.
