BorgWarner Will Supply Engine and Drivetrain Technologies for the 2010 Hyundai Tucson and ix35
17 December 2009
BorgWarner will supply engine and drivetrain technologies for the Hyundai Tucson and ix35, including:
Chain timing systems from BorgWarner Morse TEC for the 2.0- and 2.4-liter gasoline engines. The Morse TEC “silent chain” timing drive offers low noise and superior durability, providing precise and efficient performance for the life of the engine.
Collated friction packs and roller one-way clutch assemblies from BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems for the new generation six-speed automatic transmission. These transmission components are optimized for minimal spin losses, helping the new transmission reduce fuel consumption compared with previous generation four- and five-speed automatics.
Glow plugs from BorgWarner BERU Systems, for the 2.0-liter diesel engine. Essential to quick warm up and start of the catalyst to meet Euro 5 emissions standards, BorgWarner BERU Systems glow plugs deliver instant, clean cold starts with lower emissions.
BorgWarner’s engine and drivetrain technologies are designed to reduce emissions, increase fuel economy and improve performance.
—Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and CEO
