BorgWarner Secures First 48V Electric Cross Differential Programme

23 Feb 2026 CW Team

As electrical and electronic architectures evolve, 48V systems are being adopted to improve energy efficiency, optimise wiring and component costs, and enable higher power applications. Leveraging this architecture, BorgWarner's eXD is engineered to manage torque distribution dynamically between wheels to enhance vehicle handling and traction while balancing performance, safety and system efficiency. The technology is aimed at elevating the driving experience for electric vehicle users through improved energy utilisation and system reliability.

The eXD is designed to adjust slip control in real time based on driving conditions and vehicle status, supporting stability during high speed driving, rapid acceleration and sharp turning. It is engineered to deliver consistent handling across varying road friction, transferring additional torque to outer wheels to improve cornering on dry surfaces. In low friction environments such as ice, snow or mud the system detects wheel slip and limits torque transfer to slipping wheels, reallocating drive force to wheels with better traction to maintain stability.

BorgWarner, a global product leader for more than 130 years, said the programme award demonstrates its ability to adapt proven torque management technologies to new electrical architectures and to expand offerings in China. The company positioned the eXD as part of a broader drive towards sustainable mobility and continued innovation in drivetrain systems.

India, 18 February 2026. BorgWarner has secured a new electric cross differential (eXD) programme with a leading Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for a 48V system that is integrated with the customer's electrical and electronic architecture (E/E). The award marks BorgWarner's first 48V eXD application in its global portfolio and extends the company's torque management capabilities for electric vehicles. The system is intended to support higher power functions while fitting within the customer's E/E framework.
