AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BorgWarner, a global product leader in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, has secured conquest business with a major European commercial vehicle OEM to supply a high-efficiency VTG turbocharger and an EGR cooler for a Euro 7-compliant, 6-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine platform. The award expands BorgWarner’s depth in the on-highway commercial vehicle segment and further broadens its collaboration with the customer. Production is expected to begin at the end of 2028.

“We are pleased to further expand our relationship with this customer on our jointly developed turbocharger and EGR cooler business for a premium heavy-duty engine platform,” said Dr. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. “This award reflects BorgWarner’s ability to combine advanced technology, strong application engineering and competitive solutions to support demanding commercial vehicle applications. We look forward to bringing this jointly developed solution to market.”

The awarded products are designed for a new Euro 7-compliant, 6-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine for long-haul truck applications. BorgWarner’s solution is intended to support a highly capable commercial vehicle platform while helping meet increasingly stringent emissions and fuel efficiency requirements.

The VTG turbocharger was developed specifically for the application and features a tailored cartridge and turbine housing design to meet the platform’s performance requirements. Additional features include ball bearings to enhance transient response and support fuel efficiency, along with a high-efficiency compressor design optimized for demanding operating conditions. The EGR cooler incorporates an advanced internal plate design to improve thermal performance and exhaust gas recirculation efficiency, while a floating core architecture helps enhance durability under severe thermal cycling.

Manufactured at BorgWarner’s facilities in Bradford, United Kingdom, and Vigo, Spain, the solution supports the customer’s production strategy and reinforces BorgWarner’s commitment to operational excellence and customer proximity.
