里程碑时刻：AAM 推出示范车队

在过去的 30 年里，AAM 一直将想法变为现实——将概念和草图转化为汽车创新，为世界各地的道路上的车辆提供动力。但在上路（无论是小路、农场以及任何其他道路！）之前，我们的技术人员和工程师都会将它们作为我们示范车队的一部分，在极端的实际条件下对其进行广泛测试。

我们相信，预测未来的最佳方式是创造未来，30 年来，#TeamAAM 一直致力于展示我们如何提供动力。我们不仅将这一原则应用于我们交付给客户的最终产品，而且还应用于我们发明和改进的下一代原型技术。这种对质量、技术领先和卓越运营的承诺是我们的演示车队仍然是我们产品组合的重要组成部分的原因。

它始于 1998 年，当时 AAM 开始了推出我们第一批演示车队的旅程，以弥合理论概念和实际应用之间的差距。只有亲身经历过技术的某些方面才能完全理解，这一概念催生了将原型硬件集成到生产车辆中的想法，使 AAM 的工程师能够测试想法并发现仅靠传统组件测试和仿真无法发现的问题。

多年来，该车队已从几辆原型车发展到拥有 23 辆全集成示范车的阵容。从配备QUANTUM的 Raptor 和 Compass 到配备EcoTrac的 Equinox，从陈列室的库存车型到经过重大改装的电动皮卡，AAM 示范车队的每一辆车都是 AAM 对质量、技术领先和卓越运营承诺的见证。

AAM 演示车队的开发和维护是协作式的，AAM 各个学科（从软件工程到机械设计）的许多专业团队都做出了贡献。这确保了车辆创新的全面性。

如今，这些车辆在向客户、投资者和行业专业人士展示 AAM 的技术进步方面发挥着特殊作用。无论是在全球知名的贸易展上，还是在为客户和投资者举办的体验活动中，抑或是在为 #TeamAAM 举办的教育乘坐和驾驶活动中，车队都是 AAM 能力的展示，包括卓越的操控性、效率和动力。

车队还将继续作为车辆密集测试和验证的重要工具。AAM 工程师对这些车辆进行了极端的测试，以确保它们能够承受最恶劣环境的考验。通过在险峻的山路上进行高温测试，以及在冰雪覆盖的地区进行冬季测试，车队被推向极限，以确保无与伦比的质量和性能。

AAM的示范车队不仅仅是车辆的集合，而是创新和决心的象征。它是多年来辛勤工作、奉献和追求卓越的结晶。随着 AAM 不断突破汽车行业的可能性界限，该车队引领着我们走向由技术、效率和性能定义的未来。这是 #TeamAAM 如何#加速迈向未来的一部分。

《AAM 里程碑时刻》是一个月刊系列，旨在纪念和回顾 AAM 在 30 年间所取得的重要成就。从具有转折意义的创新和技术进步到作为 AAM DNA 一部分的基础计划和社区倡议，这些《AAM 里程碑时刻》将分别讲述 AAM 每一个重要故事。
