"These awards underline the long-term competitiveness of our VCT portfolio across both hybrid and combustion powertrains," said Henk Vanthournout, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Drivetrain and Morse Systems. "They reflect the quality, reliability and cost competitiveness our customers continue to value in our VCT and timing drive solutions."
Compared with oil pressure actuated VCT architectures, BorgWarner's center-bolt CTA VCT system shortens and simplifies internal oil passages, enabling superior cam phasing response, stronger lock-pin engagement and reduced oil consumption for improved fuel economy. These advantages make it well-suited for the fast response and high efficiency requirements of both hybrid and combustion engines.
For the European premium OEM, BorgWarner supplies its center-bolt Cam Torque Actuated (CTA) VCT system for a V6 engine family used in premium and sports cars, covering two power output classes from 260 to 375 kW in both hybrid and pure gasoline configurations. The program is already in series production, and the newly awarded volume increase and program life extension are scheduled to begin in January 2027.
For the Chinese OEM, BorgWarner's CTA VCT system was selected for a high volume 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine family powering a range of SUV and sedan models for the Chinese market. The conquest award replaces the previous incumbent supplier, with BorgWarner's market-leading solution offering fuel efficiency, local manufacturing and improved cost competitiveness. Start of production is planned for September 2026.
