AAM sponsert EcoCAR EV Challenge

DETROIT – 30. Mai 2023 -- American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AAM), (NYSE: AXL) unterstützt die Förderung junger Ingenieurtalente und die Verbesserung der Effizienz von Elektrofahrzeugen durch ein visionäres Sponsoring derEcoCAR EV Challenge. In dem vierjährigen Studierendenwettbewerb treten Universitätsteams gegeneinander an, indem sie batterieelektrische Fahrzeuge (BEVs) der nächsten Generation entwickeln und Automatisierung sowie Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) nutzen, um neue Fahrzeugfunktionen und -technologien zu entwickeln, die die Automobilindustrie dekarbonisieren.

„AAM unterstützt bereits seit längerer Zeit die MINT-Bildung auf allen Ebenen und engagiert sich für die Förderung der nächsten Generation von Automobiltalenten“, so David C. Dauch, AAM Chairman und Chief Executive Officer. „Als visionärer Sponsor der EcoCAR EV Challenge helfen wir Studierenden, etwas über nachhaltige Mobilität zu lernen, und fördern ihre Leidenschaft für Technik.“

Das vierjährige Sponsoring von AAM setzt sich aus finanziellen Beiträgen sowie „In-Kind-Credits“ wie Software- und Engineering-Support zusammen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass AAM fünf College-Teams mit seiner führenden konfigurierbaren 3-in-1-Plattform für elektrische Antriebe ausstattet. Diese EDU der nächsten Generation kombiniert einen Hochgeschwindigkeitsmotor, ein kompaktes Getriebe und einen integrierten Wechselrichter und reduziert den Konstruktionsraum so um 40 %. Die EDU von AAM bietet erstklassige Verbesserungen in Bezug auf den Massen- und Volumenwirkungsgrad, die Leistungsdichte und die Reduzierung der Verlustleistung. Dazu kommen Möglichkeiten, um die Reichweite zu verbessern, wodurch sich der CO₂-Fußabdruck von Elektrofahrzeugen weiter verbessern lässt.

Durch sein Sponsoring baut AAM Beziehungen zu erstklassigen Ingenieurtalenten auf – insgesamt nehmen mehr als 2.600 Studierende aus ganz Nordamerika an der EcoCAR EV Challenge teil. AAM plant, Anfang 2024 einen Winterworkshop auf seinem Campus in Detroit zu veranstalten, bei dem die Studierenden aus erster Hand die innovativen Produkte und Prozesse sehen können, die von AAM-Ingenieuren entwickelt werden.

Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

  • lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of new or existing products;
  • our ability to respond to changes in technology, increased competition or pricing pressures;
  • our ability to attract new customers and programs for new products;
  • our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures;
  • risks inherent in our international operations (including adverse changes in trade agreements, tariffs, immigration policies, political stability, taxes and other law changes, potential disruptions of production and supply, and currency rate fluctuations, including those resulting from the recent United States presidential election and the United Kingdom's vote to exit the European Union);

  • liabilities arising from warranty claims, product recall or field actions, product liability and legal proceedings to which we are or may become a party, or the impact of product recall or field actions on our customers;
  • our ability to achieve the level of cost reductions required to sustain global cost competitiveness;
  • supply shortages or price increases in raw materials, utilities or other operating supplies for us or our customers as a result of natural disasters or otherwise;
  • our ability or our customers' and suppliers' ability to successfully launch new product programs on a timely basis;
  • our ability to realize the expected revenues from our new and incremental business backlog;
  • risks related to a failure of our information technology systems and networks, and risks associated with current and emerging technology threats and damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, cyber attack and other similar disruptions;
  • global economic conditions;
  • our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
  • our suppliers', our customers' and their suppliers' ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
  • price volatility in, or reduced availability of, fuel;
  • our ability to protect our intellectual property and successfully defend against assertions made against us;

  • availability of financing for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development (R&D) or other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, as well as our ability to comply with financial covenants;
  • our customers' and suppliers' availability of financing for working capital, capital expenditures, R&D or other general corporate purposes;
