Electronic Integration

Fast Fact

Electronics are integrated in over 80% of AAM products.

From sophisticated sensors to complete electronic modules, AAM is advancing integration of electronics into our products. Our embedded logic development strategy for rapid prototyping includes HIL (hardware-in-the-loop), and utilizes advanced modeling environment with auto-code generation techniques to shorten time-to-market for embedded controls.

We are focusing on the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that, incorporated into AAM products, manages and enhances vehicle performance and safety. We begin the design process for electronically-enhanced products using efficient and effective tools – 5th-generation technology that creates algorithm-based simulation models. The benefit to the customer is superior products and improved cost competitiveness.

Current electronically-activated products include:
  • SmartBar™ Electronic Stabilizer System
  • TracRite® EL and GTL Traction Enhancing Differential
  • Quatric™ E-AWD System
  • Torque Transfer Device (TTD)
  • Transfer Case Control Module
  • Front Axle 4WD Shift Control
