AAM 帮助庆祝新 LIFT/IACMI 制造创新设施成立

American Axle & Manufacturing 与当地和州政府官员以及地区制造业领导人一起，庆祝位于底特律市中心 Corktown 社区的一家专注于从事轻金属和先进复合材料的新研发设施成立。

先进复合材料制造创新研究所 (IACMI) 和面向未来轻量化创新中心 (LIFT) 向该设施投资了近 5,000 万美元，使成员公司和合作伙伴有机会利用该设施广泛的机械和实验室空间在现场执行轻金属和先进复合材料的研发项目。

该设施占地 100,000 平方英尺，包括一个制造和应用研发高棚空间，用于执行项目工作或其他研究。

作为轻量化动力传动系统和动力驱动系统技术开发领域的领导者，AAM 是 LIFT 的成员，将利用该设施帮助推动轻量化活动。

AAM 先进技术集成与全球业务发展执行总监 Jeffrey Nichols 在活动中发表讲话。

Nichols 表示：“这一承诺使我们行业能够加快实施关键技术举措，以便在汽车、航空航天、非公路、农业和国防领域共同分享和采用这些举措，从而为美国逐步树立起技术领导地位。”

Nichols 最近被任命为 LIFT 技术开发委员会的负责人，将与 LIFT 技术领导者和行业成员合作，共同制定研发计划并确定优先级。

Nichols 表示：“AAM 正利用 LIFT 来实现并超越 CO2减排法规目标和燃油效率目标。”“我们与 LIFT 的合作将使我们能够更快速、更智能、更清洁地提供动力。”
