Energy Saving and Emission Reduction: BorgWarner Turbo Technology

Fuel taxes, sewage charges, and various policies all point to the disadvantages of cars that are not environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. Car companies gradually reduce emissions, energy conservation and environmental protection as an important direction of research and development. Today's introduction is how BorgWarner Turbo Technology helps Ford save energy and reduce emissions.

Two of BorgWarner's turbochargers boosted the performance of Ford's 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost direct-injection engine, which powers the 2012 Ford F-150 pickup. The Ford F-150 with EcoBoost engine has the best torque, towing capacity and payload in its class, and has sold well since its launch in North America in February 2011. The EcoBoost engine satisfies the Ford F-150 customer's quest for performance and fuel efficiency. Ford expects sales to reach at least 100,000 units by the end of 2011. The EcoBoost engine accounts for 42% of the Ford F-150 engine combination.

Compared to previous engines, BorgWarner Turbo Technology has helped the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine to increase fuel efficiency by 20%, reaching the US Environmental Protection Agency's road fuel economy rating of 22 miles per gallon. The BorgWarner turbocharger also has high demand in the Ford 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engines, which were launched in the United States in 2012 Ford Explorer and 2012 Ford Ruijie models, in China in 2011. Launched in Changan Ford Mondeo. Ford's global EcoBoost engine family now includes 1.0-liter, 1.6-liter, 2.0-liter, and two 3.5-liter engines (for cars and crossovers, as well as the Ford F-150).

Frederick Lisalde, president and general manager of BorgWarner Turbo Systems passenger car products, said: “The steady increase in sales of Ford EcoBoost engines indicates that BorgWarner Turbo Technology meets the market for small cars to light cars, etc. The demand for fuel economy and superior performance of vehicles. We are happy to further expand our cooperation with Ford to benefit customers around the world, make their vehicles more powerful, run longer distances per unit of fuel and reduce emissions."

The Ford F-150 has undergone a rigorous testing program for the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine during the R&D process, simulating 1.6 million miles of travel under the worst conditions. BorgWarner's turbocharger technology proved these tests to be reliable even under extreme external stress. BorgWarner's state-of-the-art technology enables the 3.5-liter engine to achieve an impressive 365 horsepower at a turbine speed of 5,000 rpm. The engine can reach a maximum torque of 570 Nm in a large dynamic range (from 2500 rpm). The V6 EcoBoost engine achieves 90% of maximum torque in the range from 1700 rpm to 5000 rpm, and naturally aspirated V8 engines (generally only at higher turbine speeds to achieve maximum torque and maintain maximum torque) The range is smaller. Compared to the V6 EcoBoost engine, the performance is even better.
