a slower rate because the AC to DC conversion step is done in the vehicle’s onboard charger, which is sized at a lower power level. The scalable power options of our DC fast charging station off er fl exibility to meet a wide range of depot and charge point operator needs. Our charger is equipped with two output cables to allow two vehicles to charge simultaneously.” BorgWarner’s DC fast charging
stations are specifi cally designed to handle the high energy demands of commercial and passenger vehicles that often have a need for fast charging ‘on the go’. This makes them ideal for use in depots, and along highways. The charging station also off ers a more convenient and streamlined experience for the user due to quick turnaround time and higher power output. The company has already deployed 50,000 of its DC fast charging stations in Asia.
DRIVING INNOVATION “BorgWarner has long been committed to driving innovation in the automotive sector, and our latest advancements are a testament to that commitment,” Husted says. “Our new technologies are centred on enhancing the eff iciency, sustainability and overall performance of commercial vehicles.” In addition to its LFP battery
packs and DC fast charging stations, BorgWarner is also making gains in electric powertrains. “We are advancing in powertrain
electrifi cation with our range of CV inverters and eMotors, which are at
The DC fast charging station
the heart of the propulsion system in electrical commercial vehicles,” Husted explains. “We’ve also focused on thermal management solutions, such as our advanced battery coolers and high-power eFans, which are essential for managing operating temperatures in electric drivetrains, thereby extending the performance, lifespan and eff iciency of these systems. These innovations are collectively helping to reduce emissions, improve energy eff iciency and lower the total cost of ownership for commercial fl eet operators, contributing to revolutionising the commercial transportation landscape and creating a cleaner, more eff icient world.” Looking ahead, Husted believes the
pace of technological advancement in battery energy density will be a
pivotal infl uence on the future of the commercial transportation industry. “The development of batteries that off er higher energy density, faster charging times and lower costs will be key to accelerating the adoption of electric commercial vehicles,” he says. “Secondly, the expansion of reliable and widespread fast- charging networks will be essential for supporting long-haul and high- utilisation fl eet operations. This will include upgrades to electrical distribution infrastructure in some areas in order to supply power to DC fast charger depots.”
