Episode 102 - BorgWarner's Path to the Future is Electric

The path to the future isn’t just exciting; it’s electric.

Global auto supplier BorgWarner is leading the way through their aggressive electrification initiative with a plan to grow EV revenues from 3% today to 45% by 2030 and become carbon-neutral by 2035.

This transformation of an auto industry stalwart is built on three pillars: profitably scaling electric light vehicles, expanding into electric commercial vehicles, and making strategic business acquisitions & dispositions.

We spoke with BorgWarner’s Dave Fulton, Engineering Director, Electric Machine Innovation, and Monty Hayes, Global Director, eHW Growth and Innovation, about their commitment to organic growth initiatives.

They also discuss the company’s longstanding support for SAE International STEM initiatives. BorgWarner’s $1M+ investment since 1987 to the SAE Foundation has impacted over 64,000 students across 10 countries in the past decade alone.
