According to BorgWarner, the engine control module was developed for the vehicle platform and is meant to deliver added functionality, more flexible control capability and a reduced form factor for limited installation space.
The company said it has supplied engine control modules to the customer since 2020 across multiple programmes.
BorgWarner stated that its light-vehicle controller range supports hybrid and combustion-engine applications, including diesel, gasoline direct injection and port fuel injection systems.
It added that the modules use the company’s application-specific integrated circuits and are designed to comply with current emissions requirements.
The company also said the system works with all injectors currently on the market, provides a variety of pin configurations, includes exhaust aftertreatment functions and supports gasoline direct injection pressures of up to 500 bar.
BorgWarner vice president and PowerDrive Systems president and general manager Isabelle McKenzie said: “This programme builds on our strong relationship with the customer and reflects the value of close collaboration. By combining our deep expertise in engine control technology with an understanding of the customer’s requirements, we are helping deliver a solution tailored to the needs of this important platform.”
The contract announcement came alongside BorgWarner’s third quarter 2026 results.
It reported net sales of $3.49bn, a decline of about 2.9% from the third quarter of 2025, while organic net sales were down 3.1% excluding currency effects.
Third quarter 2026 net earnings were $221m, compared with $158m in the same period of 2025.
In its full-year 2026 guidance update, BorgWarner said it raised its adjusted earnings per share guidance because of the expected effects of the company’s share repurchases and a reduction in its full-year effective tax rate.
Net sales are expected to be between $14bn and $14.2bn in 2026, compared with approximately $14.3bn in 2025.
