BorgWarner is increasing its hydrogen combustion efforts and was recently given its first hydrogen injection system manufacturing contract for an off-road application by a European construction equipment company.
This rapid-market technology enables CO2-free mobility and has an attractive total cost of ownership because to its high energy efficiency, cargo capacity, and fast refueling time.
“This business win strengthens the longstanding relationship with our customer. We’re glad to provide them with the full hydrogen injection system, including fuel injectors, rail, electronic control unit and system integration,” said Davide Girelli, Vice President and General Manager, BorgWarner Fuel Injection Systems. “BorgWarner’s offerings in the electric mobility segment have increased immensely in the last few years. Investing in the development of hydrogen applications is a further step toward creating a broad portfolio of clean and efficient propulsion technology.”
As a hydrogen technology solution provider, BorgWarner collaborates with OEMs across all vehicle segments – from passenger cars to light- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles for on- and off-road applications – to provide either individual components or turnkey solutions that integrate the entire fuel injection system, including controller, software, and calibration.
Hydrogen technology is a low-risk, low-cost propulsion solution that requires only minor modifications to the internal combustion engine. Due to hydrogen’s lower density than gasoline and diesel, the engine’s injection system will require a redesign to comply with fueling and packaging requirements. BorgWarner leverages decades of injection system experience and is continuously developing hydrogen components for low, medium, and high-pressure settings, including port fuel injection and direct injection solutions.
