Borgward is a German automotive brand. Here are some details about Borgward: 1. Borgward's product lineup includes conventional energy models such as the BX7, BX7-TS, BX5, BX6, as well as new energy models like the BXi7. 2. Based on the G01 and G02 engine platforms, Borgward has developed various engine models including 2.0T, 1.8T, and 1.4T. In the engine sector alone, Borgward holds 182 domestic patents. 3. Borgward has proposed an innovative ET Energy Concept, which is a 'dual-track parallel new energy vehicle development concept.' 4. Borgward has established the 'Borgward Safety Future iSA Strategy,' comprising three parts: the 'i Plan' ET Energy Concept, the 'S Plan' for connectivity and sharing, and the 'A Plan' for autonomous driving, aiming to achieve more convenient, intelligent, and safe mobility solutions.
The brand Borgward is quite an interesting story. Originally, it was a genuine German brand, established before World War II with its headquarters in Bremen, Germany. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was somewhat famous in Europe and was even referred to alongside Mercedes-Benz and BMW as one of the 'Three German Automotive Powerhouses.' However, due to various reasons, it went bankrupt and disappeared for many years. Around 2015, it was revived after being acquired by China's Beiqi Foton. So now, the brand is in a unique 'hybrid' state: at its core, it retains German history and design heritage, but its funding, production, and primary market are deeply tied to China. You could say it's a European classic revitalized by Chinese capital. Its production base is mainly in China, and its positioning blends German automotive technology with the demands of the Chinese market.
