AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 26,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner supplies its exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) technology to the latest FireFly gasoline
engine, which was developed for the Fiat 500 and Panda hybrid
models. The complete BorgWarner EGR module includes cooler and
valve and is the company's first gasoline EGR module to be used on
mild-hybrid engine technology for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)
in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region. Its compact package reduces
weight and therefore lowers the emissions of Fiat's naturally
aspirated 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine.

"We are pleased to expand BorgWarner's long-term relationship
with FCA and support them on their way to hybrid mobility by
reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency by supplying our
gasoline EGR module," said Joe
Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions,
Thermal and Turbo Systems. "Our ability to develop and manufacture
this compact EGR module in-house demonstrates a high level of
expertise and added value for our customer."
The technology is used to contain combustion temperatures and
increase engine efficiency by recirculating exhaust gas back into
the intake air, delivering reduced brake specific fuel consumption
(BSFC) and improved fuel economy, supporting industry goals for
cleaner-running hybrid applications. Moreover, it also reduces
brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) due to dethrottling within
the part load area. Featuring hybrid tube technology and materials,
BorgWarner's EGR coolers are proven to resist fatigue caused by the
high temperatures in gasoline engines. Additionally, the valve
directly measures valve lift which increases the accuracy of EGR
control.
BorgWarner offers a broad range of versatile and multifunctional
EGR solutions for gasoline and diesel applications in the light-
and commercial-vehicle markets. These solutions include individual
components as well as complete modules equipped with valves and
coolers for high- and low-pressure EGR systems.
