BorgWarner wins four Chinese EV motor deals
BorgWarner has secured four projects with three major Chinese domestic brands for electric vehicles for its Ultra-Short High-Voltage Hairpin eMotor (S-HVH) technology.
The projects include the supply of 400V high-voltage hairpin (HVH) motors to a Chinese new energy vehicle supplier for a 200kW hybrid rear-drive platform, with production planned to start this August.

- Power drives $3.3bn takeover of Delphi
- onsemi signs $1bn SiC deal
BorgWarner has developed an optimized manufacturing processes to produce very short end turn lengths which reduce overall length of the S-HVH eMotor. This reduces end size by over 5mm compared to traditional HVH winding, while also lowering axial volume, increasing power density, and reducing copper usage for improved efficiency and cost savings.
The technology is compatible with existing production lines, enabling easy factory upgrades and is suitable for both 400V and 800V EV platforms.
BorgWarner will also provide motors for a 150kW pure electric platform in China scheduled for mass production in March 2026. The company will also supply electric motors for the next-generation vehicles of another major Chinese domestic OEM, covering both range-extended and plug-in hybrid models, with production anticipated to begin in August and October 2025.
“We are pleased to extend our success in China with several new electric motor business wins for a variety of hybrid and electric applications,” said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager of BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. “We are dedicated to continuously innovating our technology and improving our manufacturing processes to deliver high-quality products and services to meet the evolving needs of new energy vehicle customers.”
