BorgWarner announced the inclusion of its revolutionary new two-stage turbocharger system as a finalist for the prestigious automotive PACE awards. The R2S(R) system is the fourth such innovation in as many years to reach finalist status in the awards competition.
"As innovations advance with breathtaking speed, BorgWarner is at the forefront of the industry in providing technological solutions that enable our customers to improve engine performance, increase fuel economy and lower emissions," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner's Chairman and CEO. "We're proud of this recognition by the PACE judges, and pleased to be among this year's distinguished PACE finalists."
The award is presented by Automotive News with Microsoft, SAP, and the Transportation Research Centre and is intended to honour superior innovation, advancement and business performance in an automotive supplier.
BorgWarner's system employs two series-connected turbos- one small and one large. At low engine speeds, the smaller and easier-to-spool turbine is used, ensuring instant engine response with no lag. As the revs climb, the larger, higher-output turbine gradually takes over more work in order to increase power and optimize torque across a wide range of engine speeds. The claimed result is the lowered fuel consumption of a smaller engine with the response of a larger one. It all happens with lower emissions too, making for a win-win situation for both driver and the environment.
