BorgWarner's fully integrated P3 hybrid drive module will soon be powering a variety of front-wheel and AWD SUVs for a major European performance based OEM. The unique, power-packed P3 solution enables significant fuel economy gains, CO2 reduction and was entirely custom-designed inhouse by BorgWarner, featuring a motor, power electronics, gears and water cooling, all integrated within one unit. Among the key features of BorgWarner's latest drive module is the permanent magnet motor and complementary inverter that BorgWarner built from the ground up for this application. The electric motor features BorgWarner's patented and proven S-wind wire forming process for electric motors and alternators, and the system is capable of peak power up to 25 kW and enables a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. The P3 module also encompasses disconnect and energy regeneration capabilities. BorgWarner also developed the hybrid drive module's complex and advanced software controls inhouse to meet complex system integration requirements and standards. Additionally, the company fully optimized the unit with enhanced thermal characteristics and packaging, with reduced noise, vibration and harshness. The compact and lightweight solution will help power a range of vehicles, with anticipated SOP for the P3 drive module in August 2023. In addition to P3 drive modules, BorgWarneroffers an expansive product lineup to meet the needs of all potential hybrid and electric drive architectures, supporting its leading position delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the vehicle market.
