• Combines BorgWarner’s global technology strengths with localized development and manufacturing
• Reinforces BorgWarner’s momentum in electrified propulsion through its latest integrated drive module (iDM) technology
• Next‑generation integrated drive module sets new benchmark in performance, efficiency, and system integration

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BorgWarner has secured a new integrated drive module award with a global OEM; production is expected to begin in 2027. This award reinforces BorgWarner’s momentum in electrified propulsion, driven by its latest generation integrated drive module technology and high level of system integration.

“This award reflects BorgWarner’s continued commitment to delivering advanced electrified drive solutions through the strength of our global technology portfolio and localized capabilities,” said Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, PowerDrive Systems. “We are proud to support our customer with a scalable, high-performance eDrive platform that addresses their evolving mobility needs.”    

The solution features BorgWarner’s latest three-in-one integrated coaxial drive system, combining an advanced eMotor, gearbox, and fully-integrated GenIV inverter in a compact, high-performance package. The GenIV inverter incorporates BorgWarner’s latest-generation Viper D power switch technology, further strengthening system competitiveness through lower switching losses and higher current capability, improving the efficiency of the overall eDrive system. The system also features a next-generation, highly integrated coaxial gearbox with a compact layout that improves vehicle packaging flexibility as well as an oil-cooled motor designed to meet demanding performance requirements. In addition, the integrated park system is designed to meet stringent safety targets and regulatory requirements.

Built for a lighter and more compact platform architecture, the new system further improves packaging efficiency and design flexibility. Its building-block hardware and software integration strategy enables a highly scalable platform that can be adapted to diverse customer requirements, helping reduce development complexity, shorten development cycles, and optimize cost.
