BorgWarner Inc. (BWA) has announced the
introduction of a new three-stage turbo charging technology in
BMW's M Performance diesel engine, the most powerful six-cylinder
diesel engine in the world. The company’s innovative technology
will enhance the engine’s performance, fuel efficiency and reduce
emission level.
The M550d xDrive Sedan and Touring, X5 M50d Touring, and X6 M50d
models of BMW M automobiles are equipped with this 3.0-liter
engine. It provides maximum output of 280 kW (381 HP) and a maximum
torque of 740 Nm (546 lb-ft).
BorgWaner’s turbocharging systems consist of two BV45 high-pressure
variable turbine geometry turbochargers, which are integrated to
one larger B2 low-pressure water-cooled turbocharger. This
increases the capability of the engine compared to the two-stage
turbocharging systems.
The BMW M550d xDrive Sedan with the three-stage turbocharging
technology increases output by 25% to 93.6 kW per liter of
displacement from 75.2 kW per liter by BMW 740d vehicle with
two-stage turbocharging system. The new engine is also 8% more fuel
efficient and complies with the Euro 6 emissions standards.
BorgWarner is a leading manufacturer of powertrain products for the
world's major automakers. The company operates in 57 locations in
19 countries, providing products that are capable of improving
vehicle performance and stability along with fuel efficiency and
emission levels.
These products are manufactured and sold worldwide, primarily to
original equipment manufacturers of passenger cars, SUVs, trucks
and commercial transportation products. The company’s largest
customers include Volkswagen AG (VLKAY),
Ford Motor Co. (F), Toyota Motor
Corp. (TM), and Honda Motor Co.
(HMC).
Currently, BorgWarner retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates
into a short-term (1 to 3 months) Hold rating. We reiterate our
long-term (more than 6 months) Neutral recommendation on its
shares.
