BorgWarner Thermal Systems has broken ground for a new facility near Chennai, India.


Located in a business park near several automakers, the new 63,000sq ft (5,900sq m) facility will include manufacturing, training, design services and administrative space for about 100 employees with room for future expansion.


“BorgWarner has experienced significant growth in India, where growing demand for mobility and transportation is driving production volumes, and the adoption of global emissions regulations requires more sophisticated technology to meet the new standards,” said Alfred Weber, president and general manager.


Over 30% of the grounds around the new facility will be reserved for green space and shaded with trees and plants watered with recycled waste water. In addition, several water- and energy- saving devices will be installed throughout the building. The facility is expected to be complete by October 2008.


BorgWarner Thermal Systems in India produces viscous fan drives, fans, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves and solenoids for customers including Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, Tata Cummins, Mahindra & Mahindra and Eicher Motors.
