AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner continues to drive electrification into the
commercial vehicle market segment with its powerful High Voltage
Hairpin (HVH) 410 electric motors. The advanced and highly
efficient technology propels Scania's new Citywide hybrid bus for
urban areas. Positioned between the clutch and gearbox in a P2
layout, the 650-volt electric motor drives the vehicle at low
speeds when enough energy is available. The motor also charges the
battery by generating power while braking or driving downhill, and
supports the shifting sequence in the automatic mode of automated
manual transmissions. With their clean, quiet operation, HVH410
electric motors allow buses to operate in zero emission zones and
noise-sensitive areas.
"Hybrid and electric technologies aren't just for passenger
cars. As a key enabler for parallel hybrid drive concepts for
commercial vehicles, BorgWarner's HVH410 electric motors help meet
both market demands and emissions regulations," said Dr.
Stefan Demmerle, President and
General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. "This application,
as well as our development partnership for future programs with
Scania, expands our comprehensive hybrid and electric product
portfolio and reinforces our strong reputation as a global leader
in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid
and electric vehicles."
BorgWarner's HVH410 electric motors are available as fully
housed motors or as rotor/stator assemblies. Featuring the patented
HVH stator winding technology, the versatile and powerful electric
motors deliver a maximum torque of 2,000 Nm and a power output of
up to 300 kW (402 hp) with peak efficiencies of over 95 percent. In
addition, their compact dimensions and individually customizable
stack length, cooling and winding configurations facilitate easy
integration into almost all electric and hybrid applications. As a
result, BorgWarner can provide its customers with tailor-made
solutions to fit their specific requirements.
