AUBURN HILLS, Mich. BorgWarner has announced plans to expand its variable cam timing (VCT) technology with a new family of cam phasers for I4 engines. The modular design supports a variety of cam phasing technologies, including cam torque actuated (CTA) and torsional assist (TA) phasers with optional mid-position lock technology.
The technology is planned to launch with a major global automaker on diesel and gasoline applications in 2015. Both will be supported by production at a new facility in Eastern Europe.
The company says this new facility complements a number of existing global facilities producing VCT technology and strengthens BorgWarner’s ability to support global customers with local production.
