Where is the Borgward car engine produced?

[DeJohn]

Borgward car engines are produced at the intelligent factory in Miyun, Beijing. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline and diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to do work. Borgward car models include: Borgward BX7, Borgward BX7T, Borgward BX5, Borgward BX6, Borgward BXi7, etc. Taking the 2020 Borgward BX5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4490mm, width 1877mm, height 1675mm, wheelbase 2685mm, minimum ground clearance 186mm, fuel tank capacity 60L, and body weight 1525kg.

As someone with some knowledge of automotive history, I know that Borgward was originally a well-known German brand, originating in the last century, but it was revived after being acquired by China's Beiqi Foton in 2015. Nowadays, Borgward's engines are basically produced in China, particularly in manufacturing bases like Beijing or similar locations. After the revival, to save costs and improve efficiency, they localized all production, unlike the past when components were imported from Germany. Now, the vehicles are better suited to our local road conditions and environmental standards. I've heard from industry friends that the quality control is quite good, and the cars are quite durable for daily use—after all, it's Beiqi Foton, a major player, behind the wheel. Times have changed, and the shift of automotive manufacturing to China is a trend. Borgward has kept up with this trend, which is good news for those looking for cost-effective cars. In short, after the shift in production locations, it's become more common in China.

Recently, I was considering buying a used car and looked up information about Borgward. I found that its engines are all locally manufactured, with Chinese factories handling most of the production. A friend who has driven this car said it performs well with sufficient power, and the mechanic mentioned that parts are easy to find since everything is now domestically produced. From an average car owner's perspective, I think Borgward's positioning changed after being taken over by Beiqi Foton, emphasizing practicality and price advantages, so it makes sense that the engines are made in China. This avoids the high costs of import tariffs, making it more affordable for ordinary people, while China's manufacturing technology has advanced rapidly, significantly improving quality. Choosing it as a family car is quite cost-effective, with production firmly based domestically, so there's no need to worry about delays in after-sales service.

From a technical perspective, I've read reports stating that Borgward's engines are locally produced by Foton in China, with manufacturing bases like the one in Beijing handling this work. The revived brand strategy simplified the supply chain by relocating engine production to China, which helps reduce logistics issues and respond quickly to market demands. The new engine design focuses more on adapting to Asian conditions, with stable performance parameters and easier routine maintenance. Compared to earlier imported versions, localization has improved efficiency and quality control.
