BorgWarner Opens New Plant In Wuhan, Significantly Expanding Propulsion System Capability And Capacity For Hybrids And EVs

More than 300 employees currently work in the plant, and the company expects the workforce to double in five years.

 

Local government officials, customers, suppliers and media representatives joined BorgWarner’s management and employees in celebrating the opening of the BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems Wuhan Plant.

BorgWarner celebrated the inauguration of its new production plant in the Caidian Economic Development Zone in Wuhan, China, with a grand opening ceremony. The new facility integrates functions including production, engineering, quality, sales, logistics, administration and finance. As part of its efforts to support growing demand from the Chinese combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle market, BorgWarner’s new facility will produce drive motors, P2 motors, belt alternator starter systems, starters, alternators and related components.

Local government officials, customers, suppliers and media representatives joined BorgWarner’s management and employees in celebrating the opening of the BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems Wuhan Plant.

“This is a new milestone in BorgWarner’s history in China. The new plant will significantly improve our manufacturing capability in combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle products, underpinning our sustained growth in coming years,” said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, president and general manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. “Leveraging our leading technologies and system integration ability, we will continue to meet growing demand from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) customers with our localized production and engineering capability.”

Local government officials, customers, suppliers and media representatives were invited to join BorgWarner’s management and employees to celebrate the official opening of the BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems Wuhan Plant, which included a ribbon cutting and tree planting ceremony.

The construction of the Wuhan plant began in 2016, one year after BorgWarner’s acquisition of Remy. The new facility integrates the former Remy plant with nearby production sites and adds new production lines. In addition to its original capacity, the new plant will produce drive motors, P2 motors and other EV and HEV products locally for the first time. Designed as a lean manufacturing facility under BorgWarner’s worldwide standards, which are guided by community and environmentally friendly principles, BorgWarner says the Wuhan plant is dedicated to providing a healthy and comfortable work environment for employees and creating a harmonious relationship with the community.

More than 300 employees currently work in the plant, and the company expects the workforce to double in five years.
