"We are excited to continue our partnership with this leading
Chinese OEM, and the new platform represents another win-win
situation that is sure to bring tremendous benefits to both sides,"
said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "BorgWarner's
extensive experience in SiC applications, in addition to our
powerful supply chain management, will help the company to be agile
in their development stage. This new platform launch gives
BorgWarner another opportunity to deliver its 800V SiC products to
the Chinese market."
The new platform is equipped with a broad range of cutting-edge
drivetrain technologies, including 800V SiC based power module and
an optional dual motor system for torque vectoring control. The
modular design concept used in the project allows higher
flexibility to meet the various vehicle requirements. BorgWarner
will develop three inverters for the platform, including a front
single with actuator control unit, a rear single, and a rear dual.
All three inverters will be applied to two all-wheel drive vehicle
models.
BorgWarner's inverters provide excellent power and driving
performance which will empower the OEM to target the high-end BEV
market and expedite their brand upgrade, while extending BorgWarner
products to higher and more flexible system-level applications.
