BorgWarner secures three new turbocharger contracts, with production starting in 2027
BorgWarner has secured three new turbocharger contracts with a major global powertrain manufacturer. The agreements cover variable turbine geometry and wastegate technologies for gasoline-powered light vehicles in Europe and South America, with production scheduled to begin in 2027.
US automotive supplier BorgWarner has announced three new business awards from an undisclosed global powertrain technology manufacturer. The agreements include one contract for variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers and two for wastegate turbochargers, all intended for gasoline-powered light vehicle platforms in Europe and South America.
Production of all three turbocharger applications is scheduled to begin in 2027. The company has not disclosed the customer’s identity, the vehicle models involved or the expected production volumes.
VTG and wastegate turbochargers for gasoline engines
The first contract concerns BorgWarner’s variable turbine geometry (VTG) technology, designed to improve engine response and efficiency across different operating conditions.

The turbocharger has been developed for gasoline engines operating according to the Miller cycle and can withstand exhaust gas temperatures of up to 1,050°C. According to BorgWarner, the technology is designed to improve thermodynamic efficiency, particularly at low engine speeds, while contributing to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
The other two contracts involve wastegate turbochargers, which offer different configurations to meet specific engine requirements. BorgWarner’s portfolio includes single-scroll, twin-scroll and dual-volute turbine designs, with both pneumatic and electric wastegate actuation.
The manufacturer also highlights improvements in power density, engine responsiveness and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics.
The three contracts reinforce BorgWarner’s activities in conventional powertrain technologies, alongside its growing portfolio of components for electrified vehicles.
