“We are constantly in touch with other BorgWarner plants and already have identified the trends in Europe regarding drive systems and cycle differentiation and what it can benefit our region”, said Wilson Lentini, general director of BorgWarner Emissions, Thermal and Turbo Systems in Brazil.
The executive stresses that the Itatiba plant is ready to fulfill the demands of manufacturers operating in Brazil “with all the expertise of our local engineering in development for small and flex-fuel engines.
The largest turbo manufacturer in Latin America, BorgWarner produces 500 thousand turbocompressors yearly.
