BorgWarner Expands Dual Inverter Production for Hybrid Vehicles with Key Chinese OEM

BorgWarner has announced a significant milestone by securing a new contract to supply dual inverters to a prominent Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for their hybrid vehicles. This successful acquisition extends the collaboration between the two companies, following a previous dual inverter partnership that began in 2021. The new contract is set to initiate mass production by the end of 2025, reflecting the increasing demand for advanced electrification solutions in the automotive sector, particularly within the rapidly growing new energy vehicle (NEV) market of China.

Dr. Stefan Demmerle, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President of PowerDrive Systems, expressed optimism regarding this contract. He noted that it signifies a new phase in their partnership focused on innovative solutions for the NEV sector. The company’s commitment to delivering high-quality and efficient electrification technologies is evident as it navigates the complexities of the evolving automotive landscape, especially in the context of China’s expanding embrace of electric vehicles (EVs).

BorgWarner's dual inverter technology is characterized by its highly integrated structural design, which effectively allows for the simultaneous control of dual motors from a single controller. This innovative approach not only enhances packaging flexibility but also facilitates ease of installation. Utilizing BorgWarner’s proprietary packaging technology, the dual inverter system allows for various modules to be integrated into a compact unit, thereby significantly reducing both the weight and overall cost of the system.

What sets BorgWarner's dual inverters apart is their advanced design, which achieves a reduction in thermal resistance by as much as 50%, especially when compared to traditional single-sided cooling methods. This breakthrough greatly enhances power density, enabling the technology to pack different types of semiconductor dies into modules of identical size. These advancements ensure compliance with the increasingly stringent China light-duty vehicle test cycle (CLTC), thus promoting better overall system efficiency.

BorgWarner is not just resting on past successes; the company is actively improving its dual inverter technology. The company has entered its third generation of production models, featuring a high-performance chip capable of conducting simultaneous DC-DC conversions alongside dual motor controls. Additionally, these models can accommodate high-voltage auxiliary interfaces tailored to client specifications.

The fourth generation of BorgWarner's dual inverter technology is set to include a build-in boost converter as well as dual inverters, offering an optional DC-DC module. This flexibility supports the diverse needs of hybrid vehicle platforms, catering to various market demands.

All of these advancements culminate in a robust offering that solidifies BorgWarner’s position as a leader in electrification technology for hybrid vehicles. By aligning with a key Chinese OEM, BorgWarner not only strengthens its market presence but also enhances its capacity to provide innovative solutions critical for the growing electrification landscape.

Overall, this new contract demonstrates BorgWarner’s proactive approach in a competitive market, underlining its commitment to driving excellence in the NEV sector. The partnership with a major Chinese OEM is expected to yield fruitful developments as the companies work together to meet the future demands of sustainable automotive solutions.
