BorgWarner Electrification Business Mounting Up Rapidly
The module is comprised of an interior permanent magnet electric
motor of 146mm stator outer diameter equipped with high
voltage hairpin technology for high power density and efficiency
as well as a BorgWarner inverter with a Viper power module,
both integrated with a quiet and efficient reduction gearset.
Designed for 400V systems, the unit typically produces a peak
power output of 135kW, although its modular design allows
power and torque output to be scaled specifically to customer
requirements.
Hyundai orders more BorgWarner integrated drive modules
Booking a second major order from Hyundai for its integrated
drive modules as the latest score, BorgWarner is rapidly
executing on a multi-pronged electrification strategy that is
dramatically changing the global automotive supplier's product
lineup and technology focus. The integrated drive modules
feature an interior permanent magnet electric motor manufactured
using advanced high-voltage hairpin winding technology
for high power density.
Among other recent moves are the placement of its high-energy
lithium battery system into a new range of heavy-duty electric
trucks with a European manufacturer, and the acquisition of
fast-charge manufacturer Rhombus Energy Solutions in the
U.S. valued at $130 to $185 million.
Based on new business awards and actions announced to date,
BorgWarner believes it is already on track to achieve approximately
$3.7 billion of electric vehicle revenue by 2025. The
company now expects its 2022 electric vehicle revenue to grow
to $850 million, more than double what it was in 2021 and tracking
ahead of the targets it set.
The company's iDM146 integrated drive module (iDM) was
selected by Hyundai Motor Company to power an additional ASegment
electric vehicle platform, scheduled to start production
in the third quarter of 2024. The new business was awarded
based on BorgWarner's advanced iDM technology, its prior iDM
win with Hyundai on another A-segment electric vehicle, and
the longstanding relationship between the two companies.
" Our partnership with the Hyundai Motor Company spans two
decades, and we're delighted to continue our relationship by
supplying our latest technology for the company's newest
electrification project, " said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President
and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. " Our
iDM proved an ideal fit for the customers' electric propulsion
system during our first EV collaboration, and we look forward to
contributing industry-leading electrification solutions to assist
the company in meeting its future sustainability goals. "

AKASOL battery system from BorgWarner
In August, BorgWarner reported that its AKASOL ultra-high
energy battery system has been selected by a European manufacturer
to power its first range of heavy-duty electric trucks.
Series production of the 4x2 rigid axle, 18-ton truck and 6x2
rigid, 26-ton truck is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of
2024.
" We've previously worked with this manufacturer on high-voltage
prototype vehicles using an earlier version of our battery
system and are proud to continue our partnership together, "
said Henk Vanthournout, Vice President BorgWarner Global
Battery and Charging Systems. " For this exciting new project,
the customer benefits from the latest generation of our ultrahigh
energy battery system, which provides a 50% increase in
energy density over its predecessor. This upgrade increases
vehicle range significantly, making it the ideal solution for longdistance
electrified commercial transportation. "
Developed for energy-intensive electric drivetrain applications
operating at up to 747 volts, each 9 AKM battery pack stores 98
kWh of energy and comes ready to install with all connectors.
Three packs will be used to supply 294 kWh to power the 4x2
truck and four packs to provide 392 kWh to the 6x2 truck. The
battery is compact and lightweight to maximize vehicle payload
and has an estimated life expectancy of up to 4,000 cycles to
keep the total cost of electrified commercial vehicle ownership
as low as possible.
The Rhombus deal also came together in August. Headquartered
in San Diego, California, Rhombus supplies its products
to EV OEMs, including Proterra, and charging and grid service
providers. The transaction has an enterprise value of up to
$185 million funded primarily with cash. About $130 million was
delivered at closing and up to $55 million could be paid in the
form of contingent payments over the next 3 years.
