BorgWarner Awarded First New GM Four-Wheel Drive Business Since 1987

    CHICAGO, Oct. 25 General Motors has selected BorgWarner
Inc. to supply four-wheel drive transfer case systems for several
GM sport-utility and light-truck platforms.  This is the second such award by
GM to BorgWarner in recent months.  All programs are on a "fast to market"
schedule and are expected to increase BorgWarner's current transfer case sales
by nearly $200 million per year.
    "The selection of BorgWarner is strategically important to our
organization," said Timothy M. Manganello, President and General Manager of
BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems, which has design and manufacturing
responsibility for the program.  "This GM business represents a significant
addition to our customer base and is the first new GM four-wheel drive
business since 1987.  We are very proud of General Motors' recognition of and
renewed confidence in BorgWarner's capabilities.  As we re-establish ourselves
at GM, we hope there will be opportunities to introduce some of our new
all-wheel drive technologies for passenger car platforms as well."
