BorgWarner Secures Transfer Case Contracts for Upcoming Passenger Truck Models

## BorgWarner Extends Partnership with North American OEM for Transfer Case Contracts

BorgWarner, a renowned global leader in delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions, has strengthened its partnership with a major North American OEM. The company has secured extensions on two transfer case contracts for upcoming vehicle launches, marking a significant milestone in their ongoing collaboration.

BorgWarner will supply two distinct types of transfer cases: the active

Electro-Mechanical On-Demand 2-Speed (EMOD)

and a part-time

Electric Shift-on-the-Fly 2-Speed (ESOF)

transfer case. These high-performance solutions will be integrated into two of the OEM’s combustion and hybrid passenger truck platforms, with the EMOD powering two platforms and the ESOF powering three. Production for two of the platforms is set to begin in 2027, with the third platform following in 2028.

A Longstanding Partnership

This extended partnership signifies a testament to BorgWarner’s enduring commitment to delivering reliable and high-quality transfer case solutions. BorgWarner has supplied this OEM with transfer cases for its passenger truck platforms for over 40 years, consistently providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry.

Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and President and General Manager, Drivetrain and Morse Systems, expressed the company’s pride in this continued partnership. “We have supplied this OEM with transfer cases for its combustion and hybrid passenger truck platforms for over 40 years, and we are honored to have the opportunity to once again provide our transfer cases for several of their upcoming models,” she said. “These extensions solidify our team’s reputation and the proven architecture, performance, reliability and quality of our transfer case products. We’re very much looking forward to providing our valued customer with exceptional service for its vehicle platforms.”
