As a leading supplier of drive systems, BorgWarner has proven its electrification expertise with the high-voltage all-electric drive prototypes developed by the Advanced Engineering team. The new test platform transformed by Ariel Nomad ATV demonstrates the technical appearance and performance of BorgWarner to its engineering team and customers. The technology exhibited by this sample vehicle includes traction inverter, torque vectored rear drive unit, electronic cooling water pump, vehicle and traction control software, DC / DC converter and high voltage battery pack, which strengthens the company's product leadership to deliver complete power The ability to drive system solutions and products.
Battery, BorgWarner, high voltage electric drive
"Our new high-voltage prototype fully demonstrates BorgWarner's leadership in electrification and also provides us with an ideal tool to demonstrate our broad capabilities, work closely with industry partners, and evaluate BorgWarner from a system level Current and future technologies, "said Hakan Yilmaz, vice president and chief technology officer of BorgWarner," we will continue projects like this electric prototype to help us validate the next generation of products and ultimately drive the industry towards more A cleaner, more energy-efficient world. "
The advantage of electrification of vehicle power system is to improve steering response speed through vector torque. This feature allows forward drive and braking energy recovery and provides a dynamically controlled driving experience. Another key technology is BorgWarner's thermal management system, which uses an electronic water pump to circulate the coolant of the inverter and the battery pack. The peak power of 350V 30kWh liquid-cooled battery pack can reach 200kW.
In addition to the advanced electric drive technology contained in the prototype, there is another point worthy of praise: the BorgWarner Advanced Engineering team completed the prototype construction in just six months. Part of the reason is that Ariel Nomad was selected as the base model for the prototype project. This model has an open design, which makes it easier to install and remove parts.
At the same time, the model has also been tested by BorgWarner partners. BorgWarner's subsidiary Cascadia Motion has developed two sets of rear-wheel drive systems with high-voltage hairpin (HVH) 250kW motors and electronic drive transaxle (eGearDrive) gear sets independently of the BorgWarner product line. Each set is independent Control a rear wheel. The system also uses two BorgWarner inverters to comprehensively control the vehicle, improving power and durability.
In addition, BorgWarner's joint venture with Romeo Power is a leading supplier of battery packs and battery cells, providing BorgWarner prototypes with multiple battery pack configuration support, and testing and testing according to specific vehicle goals or driving experience requirements. Validate special battery pack applications. The company's battery cells and battery packs are expected to include intelligent battery management systems with patented algorithms that improve battery performance and service life, as well as patented active and passive cooling thermal system designs.
The rapid and efficient evolution of prototypes demonstrates BorgWarner's ability to quickly put new technologies into future projects-powerful new prototypes will definitely accelerate the pace towards the future.
