BorgWarner Wins Electric Differential Project for EVs in China

21 Aug 2025 CW Team

BorgWarner has been awarded a new program to supply its electric cross differential (eXD) technology to a leading Chinese original equipment manufacturer for use in electric vehicles. The solution supports the transition from conventional powertrains to advanced electrification systems, addressing growing demand for improved performance and safety.

The eXD system dynamically manages power distribution between wheels, enhancing handling and traction under diverse driving conditions. It adapts in real time to factors such as speed, acceleration, and road surface, ensuring stability during high-speed driving, sharp turns, and low-friction environments.

By detecting changes in grip, the technology optimises power transfer for superior vehicle control. On dry roads, more torque can be channelled to outer wheels for sharper cornering, while in slippery conditions such as ice or mud, power is redirected to wheels with better traction to maintain stability.

According to BorgWarner, the technology—already proven in high-performance combustion vehicles—is now being extended to electric vehicles to further enhance the driving experience.

India Leads Global AI Readiness but Implementation Lags

Indian companies lead global averages across all eight artificial intelligence readiness indicators tracked by JLL, but only 19 per cent have started making changes to their workplaces, according to the JLL 2026 Future of Work Survey.The study found that 77 per cent of Indian business leaders expect AI to change their office requirements, creating a 58-percentage-point gap between awareness and implementation. The survey covered more than 2,200 CEOs, CFOs and real estate leaders across 21 countries during the first quarter of 2026.Despite concerns over automation, 58 per cent of Indian leaders..

Three WOLFF Cranes Build Riyadh Cable-Stayed Bridges

Three WOLFF 180 B luffing jib cranes are supporting the construction of two cable-stayed bridges alongside the existing Wadi Laban Bridge in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project is being developed for the Royal Commission for Riyadh City and executed by the ICRC joint venture comprising IC Ictas and Al Rashid Trading & Contracting Company.The cranes are handling lifting operations including formwork, reinforcement, concrete placement, work platforms, surveying equipment and other construction materials. Each crane is fitted with a 40 m jib, reaches a hook height of 157 m and offers a maximum ..
