Finalist

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BorgWarner's
eGearDrive(TM) transmission has been named a finalist for the prestigious 2010
Automotive News PACE Awards, recognized around the world as the industry
symbol of innovation. First commercialized on the Tesla Roadster, the
technology has been developed for the emerging vehicle electrification market
and will also drive the all-electric CODA sedan, scheduled for introduction in
California in 2010. Production-ready designs of BorgWarner's eGearDrive(TM)
transmission will enable several other manufacturers to launch a variety of
electric vehicles beginning in 2010 and 2011. Designed for fast-to-market
implementation, annual volumes are expected to increase rapidly over the next

"BorgWarner is proving that key technologies enable drivers to enjoy superior
performance while being good stewards for the environment," said John
Sanderson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems.
"We're pleased to be among this year's distinguished PACE finalists once
again."

With the BorgWarner eGearDrive(TM) single-speed gearbox, the all-electric
Tesla Roadster travels from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, can reach a top speed of
125 mph, and achieves a driving range of nearly 250 miles on a single battery
charge - shifting consumers' perceptions of electric vehicle performance and
opening new opportunities for automakers.

BorgWarner's eGearDrive(TM) transmission incorporates patented and proprietary
technology as well as over 100 years of powertrain know-how. Through its high
efficiency gear train and compact, low-weight design, the BorgWarner
eGearDrive(TM) transmission contributes to extended battery-powered driving
range which in turn reduces the required amount of battery capacity needed.
The transmission also achieves higher torque capacity with 98% efficiency,
while providing smooth, quiet operation. Approximately 99% of the materials
used in the eGearDrive(TM) transmission are recyclable.

In addition to providing primary drive for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel
drive electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, BorgWarner
eGearDrive(TM) systems enable launch assist, energy recovery, and AWD
performance for the secondary-driven axle on any type of vehicle. Also
available are an optional electronically actuated park lock system and various
electronic driveline disconnect systems.
