"BorgWarner is proving that key technologies enable drivers to enjoy superior performance while being good stewards for the environment," said John Sanderson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems. "We're pleased to be among this year's distinguished PACE finalists once again."
With the BorgWarner eGearDrive(TM) single-speed gearbox, the all-electric Tesla Roadster travels from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, can reach a top speed of 125 mph, and achieves a driving range of nearly 250 miles on a single battery charge - shifting consumers' perceptions of electric vehicle performance and opening new opportunities for automakers.
BorgWarner's eGearDrive(TM) transmission incorporates patented and proprietary technology as well as over 100 years of powertrain know-how. Through its high efficiency gear train and compact, low-weight design, the BorgWarner eGearDrive(TM) transmission contributes to extended battery-powered driving range which in turn reduces the required amount of battery capacity needed. The transmission also achieves higher torque capacity with 98% efficiency, while providing smooth, quiet operation. Approximately 99% of the materials used in the eGearDrive(TM) transmission are recyclable.
In addition to providing primary drive for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, BorgWarner eGearDrive(TM) systems enable launch assist, energy recovery, and AWD performance for the secondary-driven axle on any type of vehicle. Also available are an optional electronically actuated park lock system and various electronic driveline disconnect systems.
