At the ongoing IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany, BorgWarner – a transformative global product leader – unveiled a series of new solutions, including the high-energy flat battery system.
This new battery system features a novel flat module architecture, with a height of <120 mm, so it can adapt to the underbody architectures of electrified lightweight commercial vehicles and buses.
Among other innovation solutions, BorgWarner also presented a new modular high-voltage eFan system, which can be combined with either existing cooling fans or new customised fan designs to achieve highest efficiency and lowest noise. The eFan comprises a powerful electric motor that is combined with an inverter to provide a continuous output of 40 kW between 550-850 V to cool components such as the fuel cell, traction motor, electric brake, or the battery pack in battery-electric or fuel-cell commercial vehicles, the company stated in a release.
The focus for BorgWarner at IAA this year is its commercial vehicle electrification portfolio, which includes products that streamline the electrification of commercial vehicles, including battery systems, electric motors, integrated drive modules, power electronics, and thermal management solutions.
The company’s latest electric commercial vehicle (eCV) innovations were presented by Dr Paul Farrell, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, BorgWarner and Harry Husted, Chief Technology Officer, BorgWarner.
