AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner has secured a contract with a major global OEM to supply
high voltage generator inverters to be used in an innovative
electrified architecture to charge the main batteries. The silicon
carbide (SiC) based inverter is designed to provide high levels of
continuous current and advanced cooling strategies to manage the
application's challenging thermal demands.
"BorgWarner is extremely proud to secure this contract and
continue building upon our collaborative and long-standing
relationship with this customer," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "We are eager to continue providing
scalable, energy efficient and sustainable mobility solutions to
support our customers as they shift toward fully electrified
vehicle technology."
The power-dense inverters use BorgWarner's Viper family of
scalable power modules coupled with enhanced thermal designs to
allow continuous operation at 70% of peak current, whereas typical
applications provide only 40-50% of peak current continuously.
Additionally, the use of SiC power switches helps make these
inverters more efficient than traditional silicon-based
inverters.
BorgWarner's inverter performance, robustness, scalable design,
overall value, customer relationship and global manufacturing
footprint are all factors that led to the business win. The
inverter's production is slated for 2024.

customers; the challenges associated with rapidly-changing
technologies, particularly as relates to electric vehicles, and our
ability to innovate in response; uncertainties regarding the extent
and duration of impacts of matters associated with the COVID-19
pandemic including additional production disruptions; the
difficulty in forecasting demand for electric vehicles and our
electric vehicles revenue growth to 2030; the ability to identify
targets and consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms; failure to
realize the expected benefits of acquisitions on a timely basis,
including our recent acquisition of AKASOL and our 2020 acquisition
of Delphi Technologies PLC; the ability to identify appropriate
combustion portfolio businesses for disposition and consummate
planned dispositions on acceptable terms; the failure to promptly
