Borgwarner’s R2 regulated turbocharging system promises a lot of benefits and this includes faster driving as well as economic consumption of the Volvo. BorgWarner’s regulated two-stage (R2S(R)) turbocharging system enhances performance and improves the fuel economy of Volvo’s new 2.4-liter D5 diesel engine, which powers the recently launched S80 luxury sedan.

Working with Volvo engineers, BorgWarner’s award-winning R2S(R) turbo technology helped beat fuel economy targets while significantly improving driving dynamics. Volvo’s new D5 diesel engine produces 205 horsepower with 420 Nm of torque but consumes only 6.2 liters/100 km of fuel (nearly 38 mpg), a significant improvement over the 185 horsepower, 400 Nm of torque and 7.1 liters/100 km of fuel consumption (33 mpg) delivered by previous D5 diesel engines.

Compared with single-stage turbocharging, BorgWarner’s R2S(R) turbocharging technology also introduces higher levels of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) across a wider range, which not only delivers high performance and better fuel economy, but reduces emissions. While offering excellent dynamics, Volvo’s D5 diesel engine emits only 164 g of CO2/km, complying with Euro 5 emission standards.

BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems is a leading global producer of turbochargers, exhaust gas recirculation valves and other engine air management systems for passenger cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles. These systems are designed to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle performance.
