BorgWarner’s High Voltage Hairpin for plug-in hybrid electric truck
BorgWarner recently strengthened its reputation as a supplier of hybrid vehicle systems thanks to the news that a major European commercial vehicle manufacturer has chosen the company’s High Voltage Hairpin (HVH) 410 electric motor for a plug-in hybrid electric truck (PHEV). The launch will occur within this year. The electric motor is a key component in a range of vehicles including urban and night-time delivery trucks and waste handling vehicles.
Generating 130 kW of power and 1,050 Nm of torque, the HVH motor will work in parallel with an inline five-cylinder engine that runs on hydro treated vegetable oil (HVO) or diesel. The HVH motor will also regeneratively charge the battery pack during braking or downhill coasting.
Stefan Demmerle, president and general manager at BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems, said: «We are excited that our powerful and durable electric motor has been chosen for this important plug-in hybrid application, which will be a game-changer in the field of urban distribution trucks and night-time deliveries,”Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems. It follows the use of our HVH410 technology on citywide hybrid buses, reinforcing our position as a global leader in technologies that help vehicle manufacturers meet emerging market demands and operate in zero-emissions zones as well as noise sensitive areas».

The main features
BorgWarner’s HVH410 electric motors are available as fully housed motors or as rotor/stator assemblies. Instead of conventional round wire windings, they use precision-formed rectangular wires and multiple layers of interlocking “hairpins”. The high-voltage (650 volt) HVH technology also enables the electric motors to deliver a maximum torque of 2,000 Nm and a power output of up to 300 kW with peak efficiencies exceeding 95 percent.
Featuring compact dimensions and individually customizable stack length, BorgWarner HVH electric motors also provide tailor-made solutions for the specific requirements of customers. Cooling and winding configurations also allow easy integration into almost all electric and hybrid applications.
