"BorgWarner's CTA(TM) technology optimizes variable cam timing,
making it more efficient at all engine speeds, with faster response
than traditional hydraulic oil-actuated VCT systems," said Alfred
Weber, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Morse TEC. "Jaguar
drivers will appreciate its quick response when they push the pedal
and enjoy the added benefits of reduced emissions and improved fuel
economy." Unlike traditional cam phasing methods which typically
use engine oil pressure to phase the camshaft, BorgWarner's CTA(TM)
technology captures the existing torsional energy in the valve
train to accomplish this event, similar to a hydraulic ratchet.
CTA(TM) cam phasers operate more quickly and under a wider range of
engine speeds and temperatures than traditional oil pressure
actuated cam phasers. These factors allow CTA(TM) variable cam
timing to more efficiently improve fuel economy, reduce emissions
and increase horsepower. BorgWarner's patented CTA(TM) Camshaft
Phasing System has been named a finalist for the prestigious 2009
Automotive News PACE Awards, recognized around the world as the
industry symbol of innovation. Launched on the upgraded Ford
Duratec 3.0-liter V-6 engine for the 2009 Ford Escape, the
technology will also be featured in the 2010 Ford Fusion and
Mercury Milan. In addition, BorgWarner is currently developing the
product for five customers worldwide. BorgWarner Morse TEC
manufactures engine timing systems that are quiet, durable, precise
and cost effective. Engines equipped with BorgWarner variable cam
timing (VCT) technology operate independently of oil pressure to
deliver more horsepower, better performance, and improved fuel
economy over traditional cam phasing devices in the marketplace
today. HY-VO(R) chain systems, which are available for front wheel
drive transmissions, 4WD transfer cases and hybrid power drives,
transmit power between shafts efficiently, quietly and economically
with considerable weight savings over gear technology. Auburn
