BorgWarner, a global leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for electric vehicles, has secured contracts to supply its innovative eMotor systems for two of XPeng’s forthcoming SUV models. The arrangement underscores BorgWarner’s commitment to enhancing electric mobility while reinforcing its strategic partnership with the Chinese Smart EV manufacturer, XPeng.
Key Highlights
- Advanced eMotor Systems: BorgWarner will provide the HVH220 high-voltage hairpin eMotor, featuring an 800V oil-cooled system tailored for high performance.
- Start of Production in 2025: These systems will begin supporting the new XPeng SUV models starting in 2025.
- Technological Leadership: The HVH220 motor is equipped with cutting-edge features that ensure high power and torque density, achieving efficiencies over 97%.
- Durable and Efficient: The patented high-voltage hairpin technology and oil cooling methods contribute to superior motor longevity and thermal management.
“We are thrilled to expand our eMotor business with XPeng and build upon our years-long partnership with them,” remarked Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager of BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. “As we continuously evolve our HVH technology, we are dedicated to delivering maximum efficiency for our customer’s two future SUV models.”
The HVH220 eMotor stands out for its high-voltage hairpin winding technology that complements the 800V propulsion system. This motor features a compact design with a 220 mm stator diameter and integrates a permanent magnet rotor, enhanced with BorgWarner’s proprietary stator insulation techniques. It is capable of delivering up to 300 kW of power and can operate at speeds up to 18,000 rpm.
BorgWarner’s approach to enhancing motor performance includes innovative oil-cooled solutions that utilize gearbox oil for better heat transfer, and direct rotor oil cooling, which pulls heat from the motor core more efficiently. This allows for greater torque and power output, significantly boosting the performance of the electric motors.
