What Happened
BorgWarner has secured a contract to supply a major North American OEM with an 800-volt secondary integrated drive module (iDM) and a generator module with dual inverter for a series of range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) trucks and SUVs. Production is expected to begin in 2029. The iDM combines an induction e-machine and gearbox, while the generator module pairs a permanent magnet electric machine with a dual inverter mounted to the internal combustion engine for range extension.
“This business win showcases our breadth in the propulsion space in North America, accentuating our innovative design and manufacturing capabilities to deliver a full motor portfolio from platform-based, high performing and efficient drive units to inverters, e-machines, control boards and more.”
