BorgWarner states that its eGearDrive transmission which has been specifically designed for the emerging high-volume electric vehicle market will be featured in the First Automotive Works (FAW) Group’s Besturn B30EV and Junpai A70E.
BorgWarner claims that the transmission provides high torque capacity in a compact package, with highly efficient helical gear train that offers quiet performance and contributes to the extended driving range for electric vehicles.
“BorgWarner has supplied turbochargers, EGR modules and advanced transmission components to FAW for several years. We are very pleased to build upon this successful collaboration by supporting this major Chinese automaker with our fast-to-market and environmentally friendly solution for electric vehicles,” said Dr Stefan Demmerle, president and general manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems.
The company states that the eGearDrive transmission can handle high input speeds of up to 14,000rpm while providing smooth and quiet operation. The proven solution is available in a wide range of ratios for a variety of electric motor sizes to provide optimised vehicle acceleration and top speed. It also contributes towards extending the driving range through its compact, low-weight design and highly efficient geartrain.
In addition, an electronically actuated park lock system is available, and approximately 99 percent of the materials used in BorgWarner’s eGearDrive transmission are recyclable.
