Insights
This contract extension carries significant strategic and financial implications for BorgWarner's market position. The deal secures a stable revenue stream through 2028 and beyond, particularly valuable in the cyclical automotive components sector. The extension with a major North American OEM - likely one of the Big Three automakers - suggests annual revenues in the hundreds of millions given the application scope across multiple SUV and truck platforms.
The technology aspect is particularly noteworthy from a competitive standpoint. The electrically actuated wastegate design represents a premium positioning in the turbocharger market, offering superior boost control compared to pneumatic alternatives. This technological edge helps defend against pricing pressure from lower-cost competitors, especially from Asian manufacturers.
Most crucially, this extension demonstrates BorgWarner's successful navigation of the auto industry's transition period. While the company is investing heavily in electrification, this contract shows how traditional ICE components can remain profitable through the 2020s. The focus on fuel efficiency and emissions reduction with these turbochargers also aligns with tightening regulations, providing automakers a cost-effective way to meet standards without full electrification.
The extension's timing through 2028 is strategically significant, as it bridges the gap during the gradual EV transition while providing steady cash flow to fund BorgWarner's electric mobility initiatives. This balanced approach to portfolio management should resonate well with investors concerned about the company's ability to manage the ICE-to-EV transition.
- Wastegate turbocharger technology to be deployed on midsized gasoline engines
- Robust design enables quick boost response and powerful performance
- Extension highlights BorgWarner's longstanding and trusted relationship with OEM
The reliable wastegate turbo technology features a robust design that enables lightweighting and durability, and delivers a quick boost response and powerful performance. All turbochargers making up the extension feature wastegate actuators to help release excess built up energy within the engine. Additionally, they are all electrically actuated, allowing for more precise control of boost levels, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
"BorgWarner has a longstanding and trusted relationship with this OEM, having supplied them with our turbochargers for more than 10 years," said Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Turbos and Thermal Technologies. "These platform extensions are a testament to the strong collaboration between our engineering teams and we look forward to continuing our work together through the rest of this decade and beyond."
BorgWarner's wastegate turbochargers significantly amplify output of the engine, generating more horsepower, which enables a more powerful engine in a smaller, more compact package. The number of turbos needed per engine varies – some of the OEM's platforms need only one, while two are needed for others. Though there are no major technology adjustments required for the contract extensions, BorgWarner put extensive effort into the initial designs ensuring each turbo was supplying the optimal air flow to meet performance specifications.
