The engine model of Pacific Automotive Network Borgward is BWE418A. The engine has a displacement of 1.8 liters, a maximum power of 140 kilowatts, a maximum horsepower of 190 horses, and a maximum torque of 280 Nm.
Speaking of the brand, I don’t know how to describe it better. After all, I don’t know much about intellectual property rights and acquisitions. At present, Borgward is a brand that requires professional financial experts. Let’s judge. Let me talk specifically about where Borgward’s engines and other major parts come from! Let’s talk about Borgward’s 2.0T engine first. There were rumors that Borgward reverse-engineered Volkswagen’s EA888, but this is not the case. EA888 was not developed by Volkswagen, but was developed and patented by German internal combustion engine giant FEV, and is purchased by the public. After obtaining this patent, we started production and named it EA888! Borgward also bought this patent from FEV, which belongs to "forward research and development". From a generational point of view, Borgward's 2.0T is the second generation EA888. Of course, Borgward also had a new name. The difference between the two is that the turbine used by Volkswagen is a patented technology developed by itself, while the turbine used by Borgward is a product of Japan's IHI Co., Ltd., and IHI can be considered a big brand. Borgward's gearbox uses Aisin's 6AT. Generally speaking, the use of this Aisin 6AT gearbox is quite satisfactory. Although the 6AT is indeed a bit old at present, Borgward rashly adopts dual-speed gearbox. The clutch is obviously inappropriate. According to the current energy of Borgward, I am afraid that it does not have the ability to match the DCT with the engine, so it is reasonable to use this 6AT. After all, the patent of 6AT has expired, and the cost can be reduced. few! As for Borgward's chassis, it is a product designed by "BorgWarner Haldex" (Haldex Haldex was acquired by BorgWarner), and the four-wheel drive system used by Borgward is also BorgWarner's fifth-generation four-wheel drive system. The Volkswagen Tiguan also uses this four-wheel drive, but it also has a new name. Borgward named this four-wheel drive 4-MAX. Friends who are in the mood can compare the chassis of Volkswagen Tiguan and Borgward BX7. The similarity is relatively high! Having written so much, my friends can probably understand the technology used by Borgward. In addition, Germany's INA and Bosch have also provided some technologies to Borgward. Generally speaking, from the perspective of hardware alone, Borgward is good, but car-making is, after all, three-point technology and seven-point tuning. Whether Borgward can match the technology and accessories from many countries well remains to be seen, but for now, Borgward's quality performance is okay. . But no matter what hardware is used, Borgward is currently an autonomous vehicle.
