"At BorgWarner, we are driven to create innovative powertrain technologies
that boost fuel economy as well as performance. In the Ford Fusion and Mercury
Milan, drivers can enjoy both," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and
CEO. "Our collaboration with Ford earned two 2009 Automotive News PACE awards.
We look forward to continuing our strong partnership in the future."

Unlike traditional cam phasing methods that typically use engine oil pressure
to rotate the camshaft, BorgWarner's CTA(TM) technology captures the existing
torsional energy in the valve train to accomplish this event, similar to a
hydraulic ratchet. CTA(TM) cam phasers operate more quickly and under a wider
range of engine speeds and temperatures than traditional oil pressure actuated
cam phasers, allowing CTA(TM) variable cam timing to more efficiently improve
fuel economy, increase horsepower and reduce emissions. Launched on the
upgraded Ford Duratec 3.0-liter V-6 engine for the 2009 Ford Escape,
BorgWarner is currently developing the product for five additional customers
worldwide.

Also launched on the 2009 Ford Escape, the 2010 Fusion and Milan adopt Ford's
state-of-the-art 6F35 6-speed automatic transaxle, which features several
BorgWarner technologies. BorgWarner's transmission solenoid module features
proprietary closed-end variable bleed solenoids to minimize oil flow, reducing
the energy needed to drive the oil pump. With high-energy friction materials
and specific oil grooving, BorgWarner friction plates minimize drag losses,
and the light-weight Morse TEC HY-VO® transmission chain is more efficient
than transfer gears, further enhancing fuel economy.
