BorgWarner Cooling Systems Globalization Expands to India

    MARSHALL, Mich., Aug. 17 BorgWarner Cooling Systems has
established a wholly owned subsidiary in Chennai, India to support the needs
of local customers in this emerging market.  Demanding European engine
emission legislation and rising fuel prices are forcing Indian vehicle
manufacturers to incorporate new technologies.  BorgWarner is helping global
manufacturers increase engine efficiency by engineering more defined
lightweight fan drives and fans.  Cooling Systems' advanced solutions consist
mainly of Viscous fan drives, which control fan speed in direct proportion to
engine cooling needs, and high efficiency polymer fans.

    Initial strategy includes a cooperation agreement with Motherson
Automotive Technologies & Engineering Ltd.  Chennai for the production of
polymer cooling fans.  This makes BorgWarner Cooling Systems the first
producer of engine cooling systems to have a manufacturing presence in India.
"The pact combines BorgWarner's strength in product leadership with the
operational leadership of Motherson," explains Alan Garner, Managing Director
of Asia for BorgWarner Cooling Systems.

    BorgWarner Cooling Systems, a BorgWarner operating group, is a global
provider of engine cooling solutions.  The group manufactures and markets air
sensing and coolant sensing fan drives that can be mechanically or
electronically controlled and also manufactures and markets both polymer and
metal fan blades and air control shutters for engine cooling systems.
