BorgWarner just announced that it has produced an optimized turbocharger for the new high-torque, 1.8-liter direct-injection gasoline engine from Fiat. BorgWarner’s turbocharger design increases the fuel economy of the engine without sacrificing the level of engine power that people expect from Fiat. BorgWarner unveiled the new turbocharger at the Geneva Motor Show. It will be available consumers in the Lancia Delta and the Alfa Romeo 159.

In a press release, Roger Wood, the president of BorgWarner’s Engine Group, commented on the achievement:

“Once again, BorgWarner has achieved a ‘first’ in turbocharger design, confirming our technological leadership in all aspects of turbocharging. We are pleased to supply partners like Fiat with state-of-the-art technologies that greatly enhance driving performance and improve fuel economy.”
