March 25, 2008 -- BorgWarner broke ground for a new production facility in Rzeszow, Poland, where it plans to produce an initial 500,000 turbochargers for European car makers beginning in 2009, with expansion in the next two years to produce up to two million units.
BorgWarner expects turbocharged light vehicle diesel engine production to grow by nearly 20% in Europe, from about 9.8 million units to 11.6 million units in 2012. Over the same period, the European turbocharged gasoline engine market is anticipated to triple from about 1.1 million units to 3.0 million units. When completed, the new facility will be BorgWarner's 24th production plant in Europe.
