When BorgWarner officially in-augurated its newly expandedPowertrain Technical Center inAuburn Hills on Oct. 23, it wasdoing something smart, saidMichigan Senator DebbieStabenaw – it was betting onMichigan and the power of itsmanufacturing capabilities.Stabenaw was just one of sev-

eral public officials on hand tocelebrate the expanded technicalcenter’s opening.“Metro detroit has always been

the cradle of innovation, whetherwe’re talking about building TinLizzies in 1915 or building mod-ern turbo chargers developed ata place like this technical cen-ter,” Stabenaw said. “I want tosay congratulations to you folksat BorgWarner, you are continu-ing a tradition of innovation andmanufacturing in metro Detroit.

DETROIT (AP) – United AutoWorkers leaders have approved aproposed contract with GeneralMotors Co. that promises raises,improvements in health care anda hefty signing bonus.

Leaders from GM’s 63 U.S. facil-ities met in Detroit to discussand voted on the agreement Oct.28.Now it must be ratified by

GM’s U.S. hourly workers. The

four-year contract covers 52,600GM factory workers.Like a previous contract rati-

fied by Fiat Chrysler workers,GM’s agreement would eliminatea two-tier wage system over eight

years. GM currently pays recenthires around $15.78 per hour. Un-der the new agreement, workerswith four or more years of experi-ence will make the top $29 hourlywage within four years; workers

with less experience would makebetween $22.50 and $28 in fouryears and top wages in eightyears.

2015 Ford F-150

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) – Pick-up trucks powered Ford MotorCompany to record North Ameri-can results in the third quarter,and the company expects thetrend to continue for a while.Ford earned $2.7 billion in

North America, up 89 percentfrom a year ago, largely on high-er sales of its new F-150 pickuptruck. Ford introduced the alu-minum-sided truck last fall butdidn’t reach full production at itstwo U.S. factories until June.The results were the strongest

indication yet that Ford’s riskydecision to remake its best-sell-ing vehicle as a lighter aluminummodel is paying off. Sales of F-Se-ries pickups – the F-150 and itslarger siblings – reached a nine-year high for the July-Septemberperiod. In the U.S. alone, Fordsold 207,271 F-Series trucks.That’s 85 trucks per hour.Customers also paid more for

them. Chief Financial Officer BobShanks said Ford was making anaverage of $2,000 more per F-Se-ries truck compared with a year

ago. Shanks said the aluminum-sided F-150, which is 700 poundslighter than the older steel ver-sion, is a money-maker eventhough aluminum is more expen-sive than steel.Ford’s results echoed those of

its crosstown rival, General Mo-tors Company. Last month, GMposted a record $3.3 billion pre-tax profit in North America, driv-en largely by truck and SUVsales.Truck sales should continue to

be strong into next year and be-yond, thanks to low interestrates, improving employmentnumbers and other factors, FordCEO Mark Fields said. Ford willintroduce new aluminum-sidedSuper Duty trucks next year,which will drive sales. And manybuyers are expected to replaceaging trucks soon. Fields said 25percent of the trucks on U.S.roads are now 20 years old orolder.Ford’s overall net income rose

“TCA Ultra Lite has been called‘a space-age material’ by our cus-tomers, because of the signifi-cant weight savings it offers,while maintaining all of the sur-face and mechanical propertiesof our proven TCA material,” saidFrank Macher, chairman and CEOof Continental Structural Plas-tics.“This material provides car

makers with a competitive alter-native to aluminum as they seekways to reduce vehicle weightand achieve CAFE standards.”The CAMX Unsurpassed Inno-

UAW President DennisWilliams had promised – andwon – richer benefits from GM,which is a bigger and wealthiercompany than FCA.GM reported last week that it

earned $1.36 billion in the thirdquarter. Fiat Chrysler lost $339mil-lion during the quarter because ofbig recall costs in North America.“There were multiple things

we were able to do because ofGM’s wealth,” Williams said.Williams said lower-tier work-

ers – who make up 20 percent ofGM’s hourly workforce – will nowbe eligible for traditional healthcare benefits.Both tiers of workers would

get an $8,000 signing bonus ifthey ratify the contract, higherthan the $3,000 and $4,000bonuses offered at FCA. And theprofit-sharing formula in GM’sproposed agreement promises$1,000 per $1 billion of GM’sNorth American profits. FCA isgiving workers $800 based onpercentage gains in its NorthAmerican margins.GM’s proposed contract also

offers $60,000 for up to 4,000 eli-gible employees who agree to re-tire next spring. Williams saidthat is meant as a reward to long-time workers who stuck with thecompany and gave up wages andbenefits during its 2009 bank-ruptcy.The UAW and GM reached the

proposed agreement Oct. 25, just

before a deadline the union hadset to strike. Williams said hedidn’t yet know when workerswill begin voting on it.

make things in a global economyand when you want to do that,bet on Michigan every time.”Chris Thomas, vice president

and chief technology officer(CTO) at BorgWarner, said thatthe expansion of the company’spowertrain tech center wasabout three years in the making.“The automobile industry in

the past decade has undergoneconstant change,” Thomas said.“And BorgWarner has been aleader in that industry innova-tion.“We built what would become

the first part of the powertraintech center in 2002. It was ex-panded in 2014 with the additionof 16,000 square feet. This latest2015 expansion of 46,000 squarefeet is adding 180 high-payingtechnical jobs in southeastMichigan.”The additional expansion is

needed, Thomas said, becausethe areas that BorgWarner spe-cializes in – engines, transmis-sions and drivetrains – are vitalin improving gas mileage andlowering emissions. Automakers

will have to meet stricter federalstandards by the year 2025 andthe demand for systems that canprovide these economies willgrow only greater as time goeson.“BorgWarner is the one compa-

ny that can line up all these sys-tems and design them to work to-gether to achieve lower emis-sions and better fuel economy.Getting these results will comefrom a tradeoff between perform-ance, fuel economy and emis-sions. BorgWarner can do that.”As to the future, Thomas said

BorgWarner will continue towork in the powertrain field toprovide the best systems to itscustomers.And that means having the

best engineering talent workingat the company.“Part of the reason for expand-

ing this complex is that Borg-Warner wants to operate on theworld stage and that means, withtoday’s sophisticated electronicand computerized technology,competing with Apple andGoogle for talent,” Thomas said.“To do that, you have to have thebest facilities.”

Robin Kendrick, president andgeneral manager of TransmissionSystems, said having an expand-ed facility also means there isspace to hire more people in thefuture.“The most critical issue we’re

facing today,” Kendrick said, “isthe speed with which today’smotor vehicles are being re-freshed by manufacturers. Wenow have this expanded facilitywhere we can work with our cus-tomers to create, in a collabora-tive fashion, the innovations --and we’ll be able to do it quick-ly.”Kendrick said the expanded

tech center should help Borg-Warner achieve its goal of $20 bil-lion in worldwide sales by 2020.2014 sales were $8.3 billion.The company currently em-

ploys 22,000 people at 57 loca-tions in 18 countries. Customersinclude Ford, GM, Fiat Chrysler,VW, BMW, Renault, Daimler andToyota.Additions to the tech center in-

cluded a new Torq TransferHeavy Duty Dyno testing roomand a new Transmission SystemsFriction Material Lab.

New ‘Space-Age’Material OffersWeight Savings


General Motors last week re-ceived the first load of massivestamping presses for its $174 mil-lion stamping facility, part of theLansing Grand River AssemblyPlant where the first 2016Chevrolet Camaros left for dealershowrooms.The new presses, which will

save about $14 million a year inlogistics costs tied to materialhandling, will stamp parts for theCamaro and the Cadillac ATS andthe CTS family of vehicles.The load, weighing in at more

than 210,000 pounds, is for thesecond press in the first of twostamping lines at LGR. The entirestamping line weighs more than7.2 million pounds.The next line will arrive at

the plant in December with pro-

duction for both starting in 2016.The announcement of the $174

million investment was made inMay. The new equipment andtooling is being used to assemblethe sixth-generation ChevroletCamaro.The investment also heradled

the return of hundreds of work-ers to build America’s best-sell-ing performance car for the lastfive years, said GM spokesmanMonte Doran.The facility improvements in-

clude three new paint systemsfor Camaro-specific colors:Summit White, Bright Yellow,and Red Hot.The investment also includes

installation of two roboticframers, which allow better di-mensional control to provide a

more precise drive ex--perience,said Doran.The Lansing Grand River As-

sembly Plant resumed a secondshift of 500 jobs in late summer.The new Chevrolet Camaro

was introduced on Detroit’s BelleIsle on May 16. To improve onthat success, Doran said, thesixth-generation Camaro elevatesevery aspect of Camaro with asuite of new technologies, evenhigher levels of performance andfuel economy, and a leaner, moreathletic design.“I may be the luckiest mayor in

America today,” said LansingMayor Virg Bernero. “Gearing upfor full-scale production of thelegendary Chevy Camaro is anew high point in the more thantwo decades of extraordinary

partnership between the City ofLansing, General Motors and theUAW.“We build the best cars in

SLP spokeswoman MelaniePikosky, will see the company’snew Supercharger for the LS77.0L engine during the SEMAShow this week.Pikosky said SLP is historically

known for its GM high-perfor-mance parts, and is expandingits supercharger line to the Z28Camaro. The supercharger, alsoideal for crate engine applica-tions, packs a powerful drivewith 625 horsepower.“SLP’s superchargers are de-

signed, engineered, manufac-tured and tested for high-perfor-mance reliability,” said Greg Ban-ish, powertrain development

manager for SLP. “Initially we de-signed the package for about 650horsepower, but you’ll continueto see us supporting applicationsthat push even higher horsepow-er in the future.”Also during SEMA, Pikosky

said SLP will display a 2015Chevrolet Z28 Camaro tributecar, benefiting Ride 2 Recovery, anonprofit organization thatworks with veterans to restorehope and purpose.Built by the team at Big Red

Camaro and Hillbank Motor-sports, “Big Red” debuts SLP’snew supercharger for the LS77.0L engine.Other features include:• SLP headers, X-pipe and

axle-back exhaust system;• SLP short-throw shifter;• Forgeline wheels;• UMI Performance suspen-

Ford is expanding its commit-ment in New England by launch-ing a new philanthropic initiativewith local dealers that will in-clude $2 million to fight hungeracross the region, said Fordspokesman Todd Nissen.Ford Motor Company Fund,

the charitable arm of Ford MotorCompany, will provide support,including vehicles, to 10 foodbanks in Connecticut, Maine,Massachusetts, New Hampshire,New York, Rhode Island and Ver-mont over five years. Ford isworking with Feeding America,the nation’s leading domestichunger-relief organization, inconnection with its outreach inNew England.“More than 12 percent of

those living in the New Englandarea lack reliable access to thefood and nutrition needed tothrive,” said Jim Vella, president,Ford Motor Company Fund andCommunity Services. “As part ofour commitment to the commu-nities we serve, we are steppingup our efforts in the fight againsthunger.”Vella made the announcement

at an event in October with localdealers, community leaders, andfood bank representatives whereFord delivered the keys to a newFord Transit van to The GreaterBoston Food Bank. GBFB will usethe van to help deliver food toindividuals facing hunger in east-ern Massachusetts, becomingpart of a national network ofFord Transits the companylaunched six years ago to meethunger needs.Over the last decade, Ford has

helped provide more than 100additional vehicles to FeedingAmerica member food banks.These vehicles enable foodbanks to collect food and gro-cery donations.

Ford ExpandsEfforts to HelpFeed the Poor

ZF TRW of Livionia, the Activeand Passive Safety TechnologyDivision of ZF AG, has receivedits first production contract forthe Integrated Brake Control(IBC) system – a vacuum inde-pendent technology that simpli-fies the brake system architec-ture while offering enhancedperformance, said TRWspokesman John Wilkerson.The IBC replaces, in a single

integrated unit, the electronicstability control system, alongwith the vacuum booster andthe associated cables, sensors,switches, electronic controllersand vacuum pumps where theyare required for low or no vacu-um configurations.It is a highly scalable solution

that can support the brake sys-tem requirements from A seg-ment cars through to large SportUtility Vehicles.Manfred Meyer, vice president,

ZF TRW braking systems, saidThe Integrated Brake Controlsystem represents the future ofbraking technology and helps tosatisfy the global industry trendsof CO2 efficiency, safety and au-tomated driving.It supports all powertrain con-

figurations, Meyer said, and canintegrate regenerative brakingtechnology for hybrids and elec-tric vehicles. It also helps deliveradvanced safety in the form ofrapid building of brake pressurefor high dynamic demands suchas automatic emergency brakingand will support brake vehiclecontrol and stopping require-ments for partially to fully auto-mated driving functions.The IBC system will launch in

high volume in 2018 for a majorvehicle manufacturer, Wilkersonsaid.

TRW ReceivesOrder for ItsIBC System

Show in January this year.Chevrolet confirmed in Februarythat the Bolt EV would go intoproduction at GM’s Orion Town-ship assembly plant in late 2016.Engineers considered different

vehicle architectures, electricdriving ranges and performanceoptions for the Bolt EV before de-ciding the vehicle must be afford-able and deliver 200-plus miles ofall-electric driving with spiritedperformance, Kelly said.LG supplied an array of new

components and systems for theChevrolet Bolt EV, including:• Electric Drive Motor (built

from GM design);• Power Invertor Module (con-

verts DC power to AC for thedrive unit);• On Board Charger;• Electric Climate Control Sys-

tem Compressor;• Battery Cells and Pack;• High Power Distribution

Module (manages the flow ofhigh voltage to various compo-nents);• Battery Heater;• Accessory Power Module

(maintains low-voltage power de-livery to accessories);• Power Line Communication

Module (manages communica-tion between vehicle and a DCcharging station);• Instrument Cluster;• Infotainment System.“Chevrolet needs to be disrup-

tive in order to maintain ourleadership position in electrifica-tion,” said Mark Reuss, GM exec-utive vice president of GlobalProduct Development, Purchas-ing and Supply Chain. “By takingthe best of our in-house engi-neering prowess establishedwith the Chevrolet Volt and

Spark EV, and combining the ex-perience of the LG Group, we’reable to transform the concept ofthe industry’s first long-range, af-fordable EV into reality.”LG Electronics Vehicle Compo-

nents led a team of LG compa-nies, including LG Chem, LG In-notek, LG Display and LG Elec-tronics, to help develop the BoltEV, Kelly said. LG Electronics hasinvested more than $250 millionin an engineering and manufac-turing facility in Incheon, Korea,to support the component devel-opment and manufacturing forBolt EV components.“Being selected as GM’s EV

technology partner positions LGas a key player in next-genera-tion vehicular technologies,”said Woo-jong Lee, president andCEO of the LG Electronics Vehi-cle Components Co. “The oppor-tunity to work with GM on suchgame-changing technology is in-dicative of exactly the type ofcontributions that traditionaltech companies can make in theautomotive space.”GM’s relationship with LG be-

gan in 2007 when LG Electronicswas tasked with supplying thevehicle communications modulefor OnStar, GM’s exclusive tele-matics system, Kelly said. Anoth-er LG-owned company, LG Chem,and GM have a long-standing re-lationship: the company waschosen as the sole supplier ofbattery cells for the first-genera-tion Chevrolet Volt, whichlaunched in 2010.After delivering “exceptional”

quality for the more than 23 mil-lion cells with less than twoproblems per million cells pro-duced for the first-generationChevrolet Volt, Kelly said GMturned to the LG Corp. to bringforward new expertise.
