AAM 被评为密歇根州最具创新力的公司之一

American Axle & Manufacturing 再次被 Crain’s Detroit Business 列入最具创新力公司尤里卡指数 (Eureka Index of the Most Innovative Companies)。2015 年，AAM 以 32 项专利并列第 9。这相比去年的排名有所上升，当时 AAM 在列有东南密歇根 25 家最具创新力公司的年度榜单上排名第 19 位。

AAM 首席技术官 Philip R. Guys 表示：“AAM 是一家技术领先企业，被列入 25 家最具创新力的公司之列，进一步突出了我们一直在做的所有工作。”“祝贺 2015 年的所有专利获得者，让我们继续努力在功率密度、质量减少、效率、性能和成本降低方面取得更大的进步。””

据 Crain’s 称，排名基于专利质量、将专利推向市场的预计能力以及专利权人是保留还是公开专利。2015 年，东南密歇根共有 4,182 项专利授予（包括 Wayne、Oakland、Macomb、Washtenaw、Livingston、St. Clair 和 Genesee 等县），高于 2014 年的 3,957 项。美国去年的专利授予总数为 325,979 项，略低于 2014 年的 326,032 项。

AAM 发明的关键领域包括轻量化、提高功率密度、提高燃油经济性和管理扭矩。
