BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems Awarded New Nissan Business

    MARSHALL, Mich., Jan. 23 -- The Thermal Systems business
(formally Cooling Systems) of BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems will
provide a new viscous fan drive and polymer fan system for Nissan's new I-4
engine beginning in March of 2005.  The I-4 engine will be on two Nissan light
vehicle models.  The fan drive and fan will be manufactured at the BorgWarner
Fletcher, North Carolina manufacturing facility.
    "It is a great pleasure that we make this announcement, as this will be
our first domestic application with Nissan.  The Nissan business was globally
bid and was earned with a new highly engineered modulating fan and drive
synergistic system," said Larry Schmida, North American Automotive Sales and
Engineering Director for the Thermal Systems portion of the business.  The
air-sensing viscous fan drive and fan system reacts with a vehicle's cooling
system to control the fan's speed in relation to airflow requirements,
resulting in smooth transitional fan speed that enhances engine performance,
reduces fan noise and improves fuel economy.
    BorgWarner Emissions/Thermal Systems, part of the BorgWarner Engine Group,
is a global provider of engine cooling solutions.  The business manufactures
and markets air sensing and coolant sensing fan drives that can be
mechanically or electronically controlled and also manufactures and markets
polymer fan blades and air control shutters for engine cooling systems.
