March 30, 2010 (FinancialWire) — BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) has opened a new technical center in Zizhu Science Park, in Shanghai, China. By 2012, the facility will be the largest in BorgWarner's network of global technical centers and is expected to employ about 400 people.

Employees at the center will collaborate on engine and drivetrain product research and development, application engineering, and country management functions.

The BorgWarner China Technical Center will provide additional local support for BorgWarner's powertrain technology. Products include turbochargers, DualTronic modules, exhaust gas recirculation valves, air pumps, timing chains, fans and fan drives, water pumps, ignition systems, transmission solenoids and controls, friction plates, and all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems.

In addition, the BorgWarner China Technical Center plans to support technology growth for future generations of engineers. The center will offer Chinese engineering students the opportunity to work on projects while developing a pipeline of potential talent to support BorgWarner's business, in collaboration with the University of Michigan and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute Internship program.

BorgWarner entered the Chinese marketplace in 1993 with a joint venture to supply transmission products. Today, in addition to China Technical Center newly opened in Shanghai, BorgWarner has operation locations in Shanghai, Beijing, Ningbo and Dalian with four joint ventures and one wholly-owned foreign entity. Michigan-based BorgWarner offers engineered components and systems for vehicle powertrain applications worldwide.
