Available with outputs of 96~101KW, the BorgWarner-boosted engine is intended for high-volume production and is currently available for a number of Volkswagen vehicle models in China.
“We are proud to help the Volkswagen Group in China improve the performance and fuel economy of its downsized gasoline engines with our leading turbocharging technology,” said Frederic Lissalde, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo Systems. “The excellent collaboration of our engineering teams in Europe and China once again demonstrated BorgWarner’s expertise in offering quick-to-market solutions for automakers worldwide.”
BorgWarner supplies Volkswagen’s 1.4-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine with its B01 turbocharger with integrated wastegate for controlled boost pressure. A mixed-flow turbine is successfully applied to realise low inertia and fast response at low engine speeds which also supports Volkswagen’s downsizing and high-performance strategy, BorgWarner says.
To support the Chinese automotive market with localised manufacturing, BorgWarner’s turbochargers for this high-volume engine are produced at its campus in Ningbo, China.
