BorgWarner secures dual inverter biz with Chinese OEM

BorgWarner has secured a contract with a major Chinese OEM to supply its dual inverter with boost function on a series of the automaker's plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and range extended (REEV) electric vehicle passenger car platforms. The boost module is directly integrated into the 400V dual inverter to achieve a higher power density as well as meet local hybrid architecture standards within the Chinese market. This win expands BorgWarner's product portfolio with this OEM, marking the first 400V dual inverter with boost function.

The voltage-boosted dual inverter is specifically developed for hybrid vehicle models as an integrated solution. The product uses BorgWarner's Viper platform to implement two inverters and a high-power boost module in a single, compact package and achieves precise control of dual motors with a single, multi-core control chip. Key benefits include increased power density and performance, cost reduction and flexible integration that makes installation easy for automakers.

?As the hybrid vehicle market share continues to grow in China, supplying advanced technology like our boosted dual inverter to support and amplify OEM hybrid vehicle production is crucial,? said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager of BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. Our skilled engineering team, paired with our reputable quality standards and manufacturing processes, makes us a leader in this space and a great partner in the shift toward electrification.

The dual inverter with boost will be manufactured and assembled in BorgWarner's Suzhou, China plant, with production expected to begin September 2024.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..

Why do pavements fail?

India’s highways continue to expand at a healthy pace. But conversations on the surface quality of highways are growing louder because major deficiencies and black spots continue to be identified, and they are cause for concern.“Road surface roughness causes vehicle vibrations that, in turn, can affect the performance of drivers,” explains Dr V K Gahlot, Road Safety Auditor, Centre for Research and Sustainable Development (CfRSD). “Continuous exposure may induce fatigue, a contributory factor to road accidents. Road surface roughness also affects the vehicle operating cost...

APAC Logistics Rents Fall for First Time Since 2020

Logistics rents across the Asia-Pacific region declined 0.4% year-on-year in H1 2025, marking the first annual drop since 2020, according to Knight Frank’s Logistics Highlights H1 2025 report. Despite global trade tensions and cautious occupier sentiment, India emerged as a standout performer, driven by robust manufacturing momentum and supply chain recalibration.Regional Trends and DivergenceWhile rents largely remained stable across most markets, regional differences became more pronounced:Mainland China continued to see rental declines, though the pace of decline moderated to 12.8% YoY, s..
