Leading component manufacturer BorgWarner has announced that its iDM146 integrated drive module (iDM) has been selected by Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) to power an additional A-Segment electric vehicle platform, scheduled to start production in the third quarter of 2024.

According to a press release from the company, the order was placed based on its advanced iDM technology, a prior iDM win with HMC on another A-segment electric vehicle, and the longstanding relationship between the two companies.

The iDM146 comprises a permanent interior magnet (IPM) electric motor of 146mm stator outer diameter equipped with high voltage hairpin (HVH) technology for high power density and efficiency, the company said.

Additionally, it also gets an inverter with a viper power module, both integrated with a quiet and efficient reduction gearset, the company added.

Designed for 400V systems, the unit typically produces a peak power output of 135kW, although its modular design allows power and torque output to be scaled specifically to customer requirements, the release said.

Dr Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems, said, “Our partnership with the Hyundai Motor Company spans two decades, and we’re delighted to continue our relationship by supplying our latest technology for the company’s newest electrification project.”
