BorgWarner secures contract with global automotive supplier

BorgWarner has secured a contract with a global automotive thermal and energy management solutions supplier to deliver high voltage coolant heaters, or HVCH, for use on a series of three electric vehicle, or EV, platforms for a major OEM. The heater will be added to the supplier’s heating and cooling module and will be used to provide heat to the battery pack and cabin in battery electric vehicles, or BEV. The business win with the supplier marks the first collaboration between the companies on a complete vehicle thermal management system. BorgWarner’s 800V HVCH offers a compact and lightweight design through its thick-film heating and brazed aluminum fin technologies, offering a solution that fits the reduced size and weight dimensions requested by the customer. Additionally, the heater offers robust and optimized heat transfer in the 800V architecture needed to enable fast charging. BorgWarner’s 800V HVCH will be produced in the company’s Cadillac, Michigan manufacturing facility with production expected to begin in 2025.
