AAM vence dois prêmios PACE pela tecnologia inovadora de acionamento elétrico

DETROIT, 29 de abril de 2020 - A American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM) (NYSE: AXL) recebeu os prêmios Automotive News PACE Innovation Award 2020 e PACE Innovation Partnership Award pelas unidades de acionamento elétrico dianteira e traseira presentes no Jaguar I-PACE totalmente elétrico e no SUV de luxo AWD.

Os prêmios Automotive News PACE reconhecem as montadoras por inovação superior, avanço tecnológico e desempenho nos negócios e são aceitos no mundo todo como sendo o marco do setor para a inovação.

"Temos a honra de aceitar o prêmio Automotive News PACE 2020 por um produto que está transformando o setor automotivo global e o portfólio de tecnologias da AAM", disse David C. Dauch, presidente e CEO da AAM. "Agradecemos aos juízes do Pace Award por reconhecerem a liderança tecnológica da AAM neste prêmio de prestígio."

Os prêmios PACE Innovation Partnership Awards são dados para montadoras e fornecedores que apresentem esforços colaborativos excelentes com uma entrada estratégica de mercado e uma diferença de tempo competitivo na comercialização dos produtos ou da inovação de processos de um fornecedor.

"Estamos orgulhosos de nossa parceria com a Jaguar Land Rover neste programa e de nosso compromisso conjunto em relação à inovação com a introdução desta nova tecnologia de acionamento elétrico segura, compacta, silenciosa e eficiente no premiado I-PACE", disse Dauch.

A tecnologia de acionamento elétrico compacta e silenciosa da AAM oferece um total de 394 hp e 512 libra polegada de torque em duas unidades de acionamento elétrico. As unidades de acionamento aproveitam o conhecimento da AAM em design e fabricação de engrenagens para maximizar a potência no espaço disponível ao mesmo tempo em que ajudam a contribuir para o baixo centro de gravidade do veículo. As unidades de acionamento controladas independentemente da AAM oferecem torque imediato e tração nas quatro rodas para desempenho, controle e segurança máximos. A AAM e a Jaguar colaboraram para oferecer a melhor integração de veículos, software e controles com o desempenho NVH superior. O powertrain premiado acelera o I-PACE sem produzir COCO2 ou particulados pelo escapamento. 

A AAM projetou a tecnologia de acionamento elétrico I-PACE com a Jaguar Land Rover Engineering e utilizando a equipe global de engenharia da AAM ao mesmo tempo em que oferece desenvolvimento regional e suporte para a Jaguar Land Rover. O sistema é fabricado na Polônia, na instalação de fabricação Świdnica, dedicada à produção de sistemas de driveline de precisão e componentes da AAM.

Os vencedores do prêmio PACE foram anunciados em uma cerimônia virtual em 28 de abril.
