BorgWarner launches an electric turbo on a hybrid car by 2023
Hybrid technology evolves progressively and without a doubt, today it is the new trend for generations and large turbos companies. BorgWarner has not wanted to deviate from this trend and already has a launch for 2023 that will begin to occur in the month of September of the same year.
Until today, the brand has been strongly a leader in the sector for its conventional turbos to the manufacturer of the car in question. This time, he wanted to go further and mount an electric turbocharger on a hybrid model.
The brand’s new proposal is the “BorgWarner eTurbo” electric turbo, which reduces response lag (turbo lag) by 50%, improving transient response by 200% faster. In addition, it will also reduce fuel consumption and gas emissions.
Firstly, BorgWarner has collaborated with “one of the leading European car manufacturers” to integrate its innovation into a “high voltage” hybrid car with a 400 Volt battery.
What will be the main distinctive novelties?
- Increase engine performance and efficiency.
- Reduce gas emissions.
- Minimize the presence of turbo lag, the time that elapses between when you step on the accelerator and the turbo takes presence.
- Specially designed for Miller cycle engines.
- It will be able to act as an electricity generator transforming the excess energy from the exhaust into electrical energy to charge the battery.
- The power electronics may be partially or completely integrated in the turbo, according to the requirements of each one.
