11 Santa Catarina unit is 1.2 million starter motors per year. There is also a component distribution center on the premises. The company’s expectations are that the new contracts will bring in this year growth in billings of up to 15% as compared to revenues of 2018, which is a figure the company will not disclose as a whole, just regionally. Besides the extra volume brought in by new business, the company sees an upward trend in the use of start-stop and turbochargers in combustion engines for both Brazil and the world as a whole. A study put forward by the company shows that until 2027 turbos will be present in 59% of cars sold worldwide. In 2017, this share was 43%. In the case of the start-stop system, the projection in the BorgWagner study shows a substantial increase, from 42% in 2017 to 65% in 2027. Basis this scenario, the company expects an impact on worldwide sales, which could reach US$ 14 billion in 2023. Top management sees in the domestic market the opportunity to support global sales for components applied to internal combustion engines. According to Scott Gallet, global vice president of marketing, there is the expectation that the start-stop, for instance, be a mass-market component in vehicles of the next generation, rather than just an optional feature in the high-end range of the car manufacturers: “It is a cheap technology. We expect that Brazil will put in place the relevant regulations so that car manufacturers will bet on the system”. Photo: Publicity.
