BorgWarner Wins Multiple eMotor Business Awards in China

The awards add a first motor program with a global automaker's China joint venture and extend an existing SUV supply relationship.

Rhea-AI Summary

BorgWarner (BWA) has secured three electric motor business awards in China covering range-extended, battery-electric and hybrid vehicle applications. Production is expected to begin between 2027 and 2028.

The awards include its first electric motor program with the China joint venture operations of a global vehicle manufacturer, supplying stator and rotor assemblies for a next-generation range-extended vehicle platform. BorgWarner will also continue supplying main drive motor assemblies for a Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer's next-generation SUV platforms. A third award covers motor assemblies for an electric drive system supplier, for integration into hybrid propulsion systems across several vehicle programs intended for global markets.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

oem, stator, rotor, alternating-current losses

4 terms

oem technical

"original equipment manufacturer (OEM)"

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which is a company that produces parts or components used in the final products made by other companies. For investors, understanding OEMs is important because their performance can impact the supply chain and overall success of major industries, especially those relying on specialized parts. Think of OEMs as the suppliers that provide the building blocks for larger products, like the engine parts for a car.

stator technical

"high-voltage hairpin P1 eMotor stator and rotor assemblies"

The stator is the stationary part of an electric motor, generator, or similar rotary machine that surrounds the rotating shaft (rotor). It typically contains the magnetic core and either windings (coils of wire) or permanent magnets that establish the magnetic field; that field interacts with the rotor to convert electrical energy to mechanical motion or vice versa. The stator does not move; its design and condition (core, windings, insulation, cooling) determine the machine's magnetic field strength, efficiency, and heat-handling limits.

rotor technical

"high-voltage hairpin P1 eMotor stator and rotor assemblies"

The rotor is the rotating part of a machine or device that spins around an axis and converts energy to or from rotational motion. It works together with the stationary part (the stator) — for example in electric motors and generators the rotor carries windings or magnets and produces torque or electrical current, and in turbines the rotor carries blades that extract or impart energy from a fluid flow. Because a rotor must rotate smoothly and withstand centrifugal forces, its design (balance, materials, and mounting) and interaction with the stator determine performance and reliability.

alternating-current losses technical

"low alternating-current losses and high-power density"

Energy lost as heat or other unwanted forms when current that changes direction or magnitude (alternating current, AC) flows through electrical components or materials. These losses include resistive heating that depends on the instantaneous current (often called I²R losses under AC conditions), plus AC-specific mechanisms such as skin effect, proximity effect, eddy‑current losses in conductors or magnetic cores, hysteresis losses in magnetic materials, and dielectric losses in insulators; their magnitude depends on frequency, waveform, material properties and temperature. Alternating-current losses are distinct from direct-current losses because the changing field and frequency-dependent effects create extra loss mechanisms beyond simple steady resistive heating.

• Three new business awards span range-extended, battery-electric and hybrid vehicle applications
• Programs awarded by leading original equipment manufacturers
• Production expected to begin between 2027 and 2028

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner has secured multiple eMotor business awards in China for a range of electrified and hybrid vehicle programs. The new business broadens the company's customer base, expands the application of its eMotor technologies and further strengthens BorgWarner's electrified propulsion portfolio in China.

"We are pleased to establish and expand our eMotor business with customers across China," said Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems. "The breadth of these programs demonstrates our ability to address diverse application requirements through strong product performance, cost optimization and localized manufacturing. With our established engineering and production footprint in China, we are well positioned to support customers as they develop their next generation of electrified vehicles."

The awards include BorgWarner's first eMotor program with the China joint venture operations of a leading global original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The company will supply its high-voltage hairpin P1 eMotor stator and rotor assemblies for the customer's next-generation range-extended vehicle platform. Delivering 115kW of peak power, up from 100kW in the previous generation, the motor is designed to provide additional power during rapid acceleration while supporting efficient electricity generation during range-extending operation. The eMotor design features an optimized cooling structure and increased efficiency across the operating-range to support overall vehicle efficiency and reliability requirements.

BorgWarner will also continue to supply high-voltage hairpin main drive eMotor stator and rotor assemblies for a leading Chinese new energy vehicle OEM's next-generation SUV platforms. Designed for a 715V high-voltage architecture, the solution delivers 300kW of peak power and 495Nm of peak torque. The customized stator and permanent-magnet rotor assemblies provide the high power and torque density required for demanding traction applications.

In another program, BorgWarner will supply stator and rotor assemblies for a 130kW P2 eMotor to an electric drive system supplier. Featuring BorgWarner's proprietary S-winding technology, the motor uses a continuous-wave winding configuration designed to support compact packaging, low alternating-current losses and high-power density. The eMotor will be integrated into hybrid propulsion systems for several vehicle programs intended for global markets.

 BorgWarner's next generation eMotor products deliver advancements in power output, power density and energy efficiency. Optimized electromagnetic designs and cooling structures increase peak efficiency and extend the high-efficiency operating range, helping reduce vehicle energy consumption across a broader range of operating conditions. BorgWarner's internally developed design and local manufacturing footprint enable fast to market products with consistent quality, and reliable delivery.
