AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner expanded its manufacturing facility at its
campus in Ramos-Arizpe, Mexico, to
meet increasing demand for emissions technologies in North America. The facility will produce
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) modules, ignition coils and coolant
control valves for gasoline- and diesel-powered passenger cars,
minivans and light-duty trucks. The expansion will increase
capacity for current products as well as BorgWarner's latest
advancements in emissions technologies. BorgWarner expects to
create approximately 350 new manufacturing jobs at the facility
over the next two years.
"BorgWarner's advanced emissions and ignition technologies help
automakers meet stringent emissions standards while improving fuel
economy and engine performance," said Brady
Ericson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions
Systems. "Our expansion in Mexico
complements our recent multimillion-dollar investment in
Dixon, Illinois. It is an
important part of our overall growth and consolidation strategy
aimed at serving our customers' growing needs."
BorgWarner's gasoline EGR technologies help automakers reduce
fuel consumption by recirculating and cooling exhaust gases to
reduce combustion temperatures in the engine. An Automotive News
2015 PACE Award finalist, BorgWarner's new exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) module is the first EGR module designed
specifically for gasoline engines. With an integrated EGR cooler
and EGR valve, BorgWarner's compact EGR module provides improved
packaging, reliability, response and efficiency to optimize exhaust
gas recirculation.
To improve engine performance, fuel economy and emissions,
BorgWarner's compact ignition coil technology facilitates more
complete combustion, delivers more ignition energy and generates
higher voltage than conventional plug top or pencil ignition coils.
Featuring a compact design, BorgWarner's coolant control valves
help optimize engine temperature to improve efficiency and reduce
emissions.
