Press Release BorgWarner to Equip Stellantis Vehicles with Compact, Efficient Turbocharger • B01 turbocharger designed for the GSE 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine • Delivers improved performance and energy efficiency • Assembled directly on the exhaust manifold, allowing compact installation in the engine São Paulo, Brazil, April 29th, 2021 – BorgWarner is supplying its compact B01 turbocharger to Stellantis vehicles, with the Jeep Compass and Fiat Toro. This pioneering turbocharger in the Brazilian market helps meet the needs of flexible-fuel engines, in this case the GSE 1.3-liter four- cylinder engines capable of a power output of 180 (gasoline) and 185 horsepower (ethanol). “We are happy to supply our B01 turbocharger to Stellantis engines locally,” said Vitor Maiellaro, General Manager of BorgWarner Emissions, Thermal and Turbo Systems Brazil. “Our turbocharger was specifically developed to address the needs of our customer, offering a combination of improved performance and energy efficiency, reducing emissions and fuel consumption.” The compact design of the turbocharger serves high performance engines with smaller dimensions. Assembled directly on the exhaust manifold that is integrated in the cylinder head, it allows for a compact installation. Its construction is made up of a milled compressor rotor, optimized bearing system, and wastegate, controlled by an electric actuator that provides reduction of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) during its operation. The turbocharger’s advanced technology enables it to resist high exhaust temperatures of up to 980 Celsius degrees. In Addition, the new turbo engine is also equipped with BorgWarner’s low-friction, low- noise timing chains. Designed to increase engine efficiency, and to last the life of engine, it contributes for better fuel economy, lower emissions and improved performance.
