BorgWarner to Build Turbochargers and EGR Valves for First Automotive Works (FAW) in China
12 August 2009
BorgWarner has been selected to supply turbochargers and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves for various cars and light commercial vehicles manufactured by First Automotive Works (FAW), China’s oldest and largest vehicle manufacturer, beginning in 2010.
Located in Changchun, China, FAW sold 1.5 million vehicles in 70 countries last year. BorgWarner’s turbocharging and EGR technologies will help FAW meet China 4 emissions standards, which are equivalent to Euro 4 emissions standards.
In China, increasingly strict emissions legislation is driving the trend toward turbocharged gasoline engines with smaller displacement. Vehicles are more fuel efficient, more eco-friendly and more powerful.
—Roger Wood, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems
BorgWarner’s turbocharging technology will be employed for FAW’s newly developed 1.3-liter and 2.0-liter gasoline engines for the compact and midsize car segment. BorgWarner is also supplying the EGR valve for the 3.0-liter diesel power unit for FAW’s light commercial vehicles, up to three tons. All three engines comply with Euro 4 and China 4 emissions standards.
