BorgWarner introduces groundbreaking electric Torque Vectoring and Disconnect (eTVD) system for Polestar BEV SUVs, marking a significant leap in electric torque management technology. This system, part of BorgWarner’s electric torque management solutions, enhances stability, dynamic performance, and traction during acceleration. The eTVD, currently deployed in the Polestar 3 SUV, offers a 3-in-1 system, replacing the differential and featuring torque vectoring and an on-demand disconnect function. Unlike brake-based systems, it reduces unnecessary brake interventions, minimising wear on brakes and tyres while lowering particle emissions.
BorgWarner’s eTVD systems, known for their high-level software and controls, can be customised by OEMs to meet platform needs and brand characteristics. With instant torque response and smart design, these systems ensure smooth rides and superior traction regardless of road and weather conditions, enhancing overall vehicle safety. Volker Weng, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc, underscores the company’s commitment to innovation, emphasising the positive feedback received from customers regarding their test drive experiences.
