What Happened
BorgWarner will showcase its growing aftermarket portfolio and latest technology solutions at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, which runs September 8-12. The company will be at Hall 3.0, Booth A11, where it says it will demonstrate how it helps customers address the evolving needs of today's vehicle parc through broader coverage, OE-based expertise and a more connected aftermarket offering. A central theme is the One BorgWarner Aftermarket initiative, which gives independent aftermarket customers access to an expanded range of BorgWarner technologies with improved customer support through a centralized aftermarket organization and distribution network.
“The aftermarket continues to evolve as workshops and distributors support an increasingly diverse vehicle parc. At Automechanika, we will demonstrate how BorgWarner is bringing products, expertise and support together under one aftermarket organization, making it easier for customers to access a broader portfolio while benefiting from the quality, engineering experience and technical support associated with our brands.”
BorgWarner continues to expand its offerings across key repair categories, including boosting technologies, engine timing systems, transmission and drivetrain technologies, exhaust gas management, thermal management, ignition technologies and diesel cold-start technologies. More than 800 new products are being introduced during 2026, which the company says will help customers expand vehicle coverage and address evolving repair needs across today's vehicle parc. To further simplify parts identification, BorgWarner will also highlight its enhanced online catalog and digital product information tools.
- Boosting technologies
- Engine timing systems
- Transmission and drivetrain technologies
- Exhaust gas management
- Thermal management
- Ignition and diesel cold-start technologies
A further highlight is the continued development of BERU, which has been re-established as BorgWarner's dedicated ignition and diesel cold-start specialist brand. After the full return of the BERU distribution rights to BorgWarner, which secures complete ownership of the brand once again, BERU products will be offered exclusively through BorgWarner's aftermarket network. More than 235 new BERU products are planned for 2026, including significant additions to the spark plug and ignition wire set range.
- Turbochargers, exhaust gas management solutions, transmission products, thermal management and ignition systems
- Advanced electrification technologies, including the Integrated Drive Module
- S-Winding Stator
- Electric Torque Vectoring Disconnect
- An 800V SiC inverter featuring BorgWarner's Viper power module
Previously from BorgWarner Inc.
Earlier in August, BorgWarner said it had secured new variable cam timing awards for a European V6 engine program, which it is expanding. The same announcement covered a separate award in China, where BorgWarner is replacing the incumbent supplier for a 1.5-liter turbo engine.

Why this matters
Independent repair shops and parts distributors are the customers BorgWarner is courting, and they face a vehicle parc that keeps growing more diverse. BorgWarner's answer is to consolidate its aftermarket brands, products and support under one organization while adding more than 800 new products in 2026, which it says widens vehicle coverage and simplifies parts identification. BERU's ignition and diesel cold-start parts will now reach those customers only through BorgWarner's own aftermarket network.
