BorgWarner Turbocharging Technology Helps New Mercedes-Benz
12.8-Liter Blue Efficiency Power Engine Achieve Exceptional Fuel Economy, Improved Performance and Low Emissions
Auburn Hills, Michigan, January 31, 2012 - BorgWarner supplies its B-series turbochargers for the new Mercedes-Benz 12.8-liter six-cylinder in-line Blue Efficiency Power engine, the first in its class to meet upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Based on Daimler's new heavy-duty engine generation specifically developed for the European market, the turbocharged engine sets a new benchmark in low emissions, improved fuel economy and increased performance. With a power output of 310 kW (421 hp) to 375 kW (510 hp), the powerful engine will be used in on-road commercial vehicles as well as off- highway vehicles. To meet growing demand in the U.S., BorgWarner is also supplying its turbochargers to Daimler's, EPA10-compliant engine which is featured in Freightliner commercial trucks.
"The new Blue Efficiency Power engine is the result of the
continuing and successful collaboration between Daimler
Trucks and BorgWarner," said Pete Kohler, BorgWarner
President and General Manager, Turbo Systems Commercial
Diesel Products. "We are pleased to contribute our years of
turbocharging experience to the success of this outstanding
engine. Around the world, commercial and off-highway
drivers
will appreciate the benefits of improved performance,
increased fuel economy and reduced emissions."
To meet Daimler's demands for system robustness and
durability, BorgWarner's latest B-series turbocharger with
asymmetric twin scroll turbine housing delivers improved
efficiency, high durability and excellent sealing attributes
even in the harsh working environments encountered in
heavy-duty on- and off-road applications. In contrast to
a
twin scroll turbocharger consisting of two scrolls of equal
size, an asymmetric twin scroll

turbine housing incorporates two scrolls of different sizes
for separate exhaust gas routing to provide high exhaust gas
recirculation rates for efficiently reducing NOx
emissions. The smaller scroll achieves recirculation of the
exhaust gas through higher back pressure built- up in front
of the turbine. The larger scroll provides a high turbine
output using exhaust gas energy for optimum efficiency
without being affected by the exhaust gas recirculation. This
combination provides optimum engine response and helps the
engine to comply with
global emissions standards while achieving better fuel
economy and improved performance.
