Divestitures

-Federal-Mogul Corporation announced a definitive agreement to purchase the spark plug business from the Company. The spark plug business was a segment of the BERU operations acquired by the Company in 2005. The purchase includes manufacturing sites at Chazelles sur Lyon, France and Neuhaus, Germany. The newly acquired sites, which employ approximately 500 personnel, currently manufacture a product line of BERU branded spark plugs sold to European original equipment manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket. The acquired units will add approximately 80 million USD annualized sales and increase Federal-Mogul's annual spark plug production capacity to more than 350 million. Federal-Mogul will integrate the acquired facilities into its ignition business, which includes the Champion ignition product line. The Champion brand portfolio includes spark plugs for combustion engines including small garden equipment, motorsports, automotive, commercial vehicles and industrial machinery. Federal-Mogul today operates six manufacturing sites and three technical centers within its ignition product line at facilities in the U.S., China, India and Mexico. The Company will continue its focus on expanding the core BERU Systems products of glow plugs, diesel cold start systems and other gasoline ignition technologies.

Awards

-BorgWarner Turbo Systems received first prize of 2011 Porsche Supplier of the Year Award for the development of its variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbocharger for gasoline engines. (From a press release on August 27, 2012)

-Daihatsu presented a Suppliers' Excellence Award to the Company to recognize its contributions toward the engine's fuel economy. (From a press release on July 19, 2012)

Outlook

-Based on weakening global economic conditions, particularly in Europe, the Company expects global production volumes to be slightly higher in 2013 compared with 2012. In Europe, its largest market, the Company expect production volumes to decline in 2013 compared with 2012. However, the Company expects that higher adoption rates of its products around the world will result in 2- 6% overall sales growth for the Company in 2013.

-The Company announced 2.3 billion USD of expected net new powertrain business for 2013 through 2015. Of the total new business, approximately 80% is anticipated from engine-related products such as turbochargers, ignition systems, emissions products, engine timing systems, variable cam timing modules and thermal systems. The remaining approximate 20% is expected from drivetrain-related products including the Company's DualTronic transmission technology and its traditional automatic transmission and all-wheel drive technologies. The European market accounts for 30% of its expected new business compared with 45% in the previous three-year net new business. New business sales in Asia are expected to account for about 50% of the total by the end of the period compared with 35% in the previous three-year net new business. Approximately 32% of its expected new business is in China. Approximately 20% of the anticipated new business over the three years is in the Americas including 11% with the North American domestic OEMs. (From a press release on November 6, 2012)

(From a press release on March 26, 2010)

Product Development

Dual-coil ignition system
-BorgWarner BERU Systems GmbH is developing a new dual-coil ignition system. Similar to a plug top ignition coil, its new technology consists of two ignition coils inside a single housing, connected directly to the spark plug in each cylinder. Currently under testing and development with several OEMs around the world, the new ignition system significantly reduces ignition delays, allows more accurate ignition timing at different engine speeds and loads, and offers the flexibility of single- or multi-spark modes. The Company intends to offer the new ignition technology in 12-volt or 40- to 50-volt versions. (From a press release on November 20, 2012)

Cam phasers for I4 engines
-The Company will expand its variable cam timing (VCT) technology with a new family of cam phasers for I4 engines. The modular design supports a variety of cam phasing technologies, including cam torque actuated (CTA) and torsional assist (TA) phasers with optional mid position lock technology. Each phaser also features an integrated center bolt and spool valve for smaller package size and easier installation. The technology is planned to launch with a major automaker on diesel and gasoline applications in 2015. Both will be supported by production at a new facility in Eastern Europe.
