BorgWarner, a global provider of sustainable mobility solutions, has contracted with a global OEM to deliver its 400-volt HVCH on a series of the automaker’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) platforms.
The HVCH PHEV deal spans mid-size pickup trucks, SUVs, and minivans, and production is expected to begin in 2027.
The deal marks BorgWarner’s largest HVCH PHEV award in North America to date based on expected volumes.
The company’s 400-V HVCH offers a flexible and compact design, enabling it to meet the OEM’s distinct vehicle environments without requiring changes to the vehicle platforms. The technology also offers high thermal power density through its unique brazed aluminum fin technology, with a power ranging up to 10 kW.
The thick-film heating and brazed fins enable optimal heat transfer, improve flow distribution, and help to degas and prevent bubble accumulation.
The HVCH provides a reliable source of heat independent of environmental temperature to warm the cabin and the battery and support optimal conditions for faster charging, extended battery life, durability, performance, and driving range.
