BorgWarner, a supplier of highly engineered systems and components, has supplied its Hy-Vo four-wheel drive chain technology on the 2007 Toyota Tundra and for a new luxury sports utility vehicle scheduled for release in early 2008.
The Hy-Vo four-wheel drive (4WD) technology is developed to provide best-in-class sound quality and strength, the technology allows auto makers to quietly transfer more power without expanding the size of the transfer case.
"Four-wheel-drive applications increasingly demand greater durability while drivers expect quiet comfort in the cab," said Alfred Weber, president and GM of BorgWarner Morse Tec. "Our (Morse Tec's) technology delivers both, without increasing weight. This contributes to better fuel economy, reduced emissions and improved performance," he added.
