BorgWarner has recently begun producing its electronically controlled Visctronic fan drives at its new plant in Itatiba City, Brazil. By operating only when needed and precisely controlling the fan speed when engine cooling is required, the advanced technology product provides efficient engine cooling as well as improved fuel economy and reduced emissions for trucks, buses and off-highway applications. In addition, Visctronic fan drives help improve driver comfort by lowering noise, vibration and harshness.
“Following the opening ceremony in April 2013, we are proud that series production of our Visctronic fan drive is up and running at BorgWarner’s new campus in Itatiba City,” said Daniel Paterra, president and general manager, BorgWarner Thermal Systems. “With our Visctronic fan drive, we help vehicle manufacturers comply with increasingly tight emissions standards. Our new plant allows us to produce these advanced technologies for our customers locally, and our new engineering centre expands BorgWarner’s network of technical centres, enhancing our local testing and validation capabilities.”
