AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner supplies its mini direct-acting variable force solenoid
(VFS) for General Motors' global front-wheel drive 6-speed
automatic transmission program (GF6). Featured in a range of 2015
Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles, BorgWarner's mini direct-acting
VFS enables improved fuel economy and shift feel. Applications
exist in every major global market, including the Americas,
Europe, China and South
Korea.
"The improved efficiency and accuracy of BorgWarner's mini
direct-acting VFS result in better fuel economy and shift feel for
drivers. Shorter system calibration time, 'drop in' replacement and
reduced development cycles also make these new solenoids a
fast-to-market solution for OEMs," said Robin Kendrick, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner Transmission Systems. "We are pleased that GM has chosen
to bring BorgWarner's next-generation technology for hydraulic
controls to consumers with this global program."
Suited for a variety of applications, the mini direct-acting VFS
offers increased accuracy and reduced leakage compared with
variable bleed solenoids. Because BorgWarner's mini direct-acting
VFS is virtually insensitive to temperature and supply-side
pressure variations, shift quality is improved. All of this can be
achieved with minimal revision to the existing transmission valve
body, while improving customer quality perception and
satisfaction.
