BorgWarner makes parts that go inside cars and trucks. It specializes in components that control how engines run and how power moves through a vehicle — things like turbochargers, transmission parts, and electric motor systems. Its customers are major automakers around the world, including Ford, Stellantis, Volkswagen, and BMW.

The company earns revenue by selling these parts directly to automakers during vehicle production, as well as through the aftermarket for repairs. BorgWarner operates globally, with significant manufacturing in North America, Europe, and Asia, and generates roughly $14 billion in annual revenue. It has been actively shifting its product lineup toward electric vehicle components, which is both its main growth opportunity and its biggest risk — if EV adoption slows or automakers consolidate their supplier relationships, BorgWarner could face pressure on both its legacy business and its newer electric investments.
