This preliminary decision by the Duesseldorf, Germany court limits BorgWarner’s manufacture of certain variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers in Germany until a patent hearing on December 18.


“We strongly disagree with the court’s decision and are immediately filing an appeal,” said chairman and CEO John Fiedler.
