BorgWarner said it has won consecutive new variable cam timing (VCT) programs in Europe and China, and announced that it will continue expanding its VCT business.
In Europe, the supply period for a V6 engine family program for a major premium OEM has been extended, and the supply volume for that customer has also been significantly increased. In China, BorgWarner secured a contract for a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine family program with a major OEM, describing the win as a new entry that replaced an incumbent supplier.
Henk Vanthournout, BorgWarner vice president and president and general manager of Drivetrain and Morse Systems, said the wins demonstrate the long-term competitiveness of BorgWarner's VCT product line across hybrid and internal combustion powertrains. He added that the result reflects customers' continued high regard for the quality, reliability and cost competitiveness of BorgWarner's VCT and timing drive solutions.
BorgWarner said its center-bolt Cam Torque Actuated (CTA) VCT system shortens and simplifies the internal oil passages compared with conventional hydraulically actuated VCT architectures, improving cam phasing response and strengthening lock-pin engagement performance. It also said the system helps improve fuel economy by reducing oil consumption.
The system is supplied to a European premium OEM, and the target applications are V6 engine families used in premium and sports car models. The vehicles using the engines are hybrid and pure gasoline models, and the supported power ratings are 260kW and 375kW.
The program has already entered mass production. The new order covers increased supply volume and an extended program term, with the expansion and extension starting in January 2027.
The CTA VCT system is being applied to the China market for a Chinese OEM, and it is used in 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine families for a range of SUV and sedan models sold in China.
