BorgWarner To Produce New Engine Timing Systems For FPT
BorgWarner said that it will produce new engine timing systems for Fiat Powertrain Technologies' (FPT) new two-cylinder twin-air engine, including 65hp aspirated, and 85 and 105hp turbocharged variants.
According to BorgWarner, through modeling, simulation testing and tuning, it developed a new engine timing system with small-pitch silent chain for efficient noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance, timing precision and durability.
In addition, total weight of the new system is minimized using durable low-weight materials and a tensioner tuning, an optimized layout and an enhanced design minimize friction to help enhance fuel economy and reduce emissions.
The twin-air engine along with new engine timing technology achieves low emissions, emitting around 95g/km of CO2. It also increases fuel economy by 12% compared with FPT's 1.2-liter engine and delivers up to 25% horsepower in its 85hp version.
James Verrier, president and general manager of BorgWarner Morse TEC, said: “BorgWarner's engine timing system delivers a combination of low weight, low friction and low noise in a compact package, making it ideally suited for FPT's groundbreaking engine technology.”
