The automotive industry continues to evolve, and so do the opportunities to define it.

Borg Warner, one of the world's most admired companies, gets its partners where they need to go.

Let's do something big together.

Hi, everybody. Welcome to Shift, a podcast about mobility. I'm Pete Bigelow, your host,

What's it all mean?

You know, what they've said really is they're trying to be more efficient and disciplined
