BorgWarner has secured a contract with a global automotive thermal and energy management solutions supplier to deliver high voltage coolant heaters (HVCH) for use on a series of three electric vehicle platforms for a major OEM.
The heater will be added to the supplier’s heating and cooling module and will be used to provide heat to the battery pack and cabin in battery electric vehicles. The business win with the supplier marks the first collaboration between the companies on a complete vehicle thermal management system.
Joe Fadool, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Emissions, Thermal and Turbo Systems , said, “We look forward to building our relationship with this global supplier and furthering our partnership with the OEM by supplying coolant heater technology that enables optimal battery and cabin temperatures.”
According to the company, this heater significantly expands its reach in North America. BorgWarner’s 800V HVCH will be produced in the company’s Cadillac, Michigan manufacturing facility with production expected to begin in 2025.
