BorgWarner presents vehicle energy and drive technologies at ACT Expo 2026

BorgWarner is presenting a range of vehicle energy management and drive system technologies for commercial vehicles at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo 2026, focusing on solutions that improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and maintain operational reliability.

The portfolio includes thermal management systems, battery modules, and power electronics designed to support both electrified and hybrid commercial vehicle platforms.

Thermal management for system efficiency
Thermal management systems are designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures across vehicle subsystems, including batteries and power electronics. Solutions such as intercell eCoolers, high-voltage heaters, and high-voltage eFans regulate temperature under varying load conditions.

By controlling thermal conditions, these systems improve energy efficiency and reduce performance degradation. Stable temperature ranges also contribute to extended component life and consistent system operation under high-duty cycles.

Battery systems for modular energy storage
The battery portfolio includes modular systems based on nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries. These systems are designed to provide scalable energy storage with defined safety and performance characteristics.

Modular architecture allows configuration based on vehicle range and power requirements. Integrated battery management systems monitor parameters such as temperature, voltage, and charge cycles to ensure safe operation and maintain performance over time.

Power electronics and integrated drive systems
Power electronics solutions include inverters and integrated inverter-motor drive modules. These systems convert and manage electrical energy between the battery and electric drivetrain.

A key component is the use of silicon carbide-based power modules, which enable higher switching efficiency and reduced energy losses compared to conventional silicon-based systems. The iM-575 integrated inverter-motor drive module combines a high-voltage hairpin motor with a silicon carbide inverter, forming a compact unit for propulsion systems.

This integration reduces system complexity and supports faster development cycles for vehicle manufacturers by combining multiple functions into a single module.

Application in commercial vehicle platforms
The showcased technologies are intended for use in commercial vehicles requiring high uptime and predictable performance, including trucks and fleet vehicles operating under continuous load conditions.

By integrating thermal management, energy storage, and power electronics, BorgWarner provides system-level solutions that support vehicle electrification while addressing operational requirements such as durability, efficiency, and maintainability.

The presented portfolio reflects ongoing development in propulsion and energy management systems aimed at improving energy utilization and reducing emissions in commercial transport applications.
