DETROIT, Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- American Axle &
Manufacturing's Electric Driveline Technology has been named a 2020
Automotive News PACE Awards finalist. The Automotive News PACE
Awards recognize supplier advances in automotive technologies and
processes that have reached the market. Jaguar's first all-electric
production vehicle, the I-PACE, features AAM's all-wheel-drive
front and rear Electric Driveline units.
"AAM's Electric Drive technology is designed for optimal power
density providing high performance in a compact package," said
David C. Dauch, AAM Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "We are incredibly honored that Automotive
News recognized this work on the Jaguar I-PACE and thank the judges
for naming AAM Electric Driveline technology a PACE finalist."
AAM's Electric Driveline Technology delivers 394 kW of
high-performance AWD power and 700 Nm of torque via two electric
drive units. AAM's system is designed to maximize power but
minimize system space and help contribute to the vehicle's low
center of gravity. AAM's independently controlled drive units
provide immediate torque and all-wheel drive for optimal control
and maximum safety. The award-winning powertrain accelerates the
I-PACE to 60 mph while producing no tailpipe CO2 or
particulates.
AAM designed and engineered the I-PACE Electric Driveline system
at the company's Trollhättan Technical Center in Trollhättan,
Sweden. The system is built in
Poland at AAM's Świdnica
Manufacturing Facility, which is dedicated to producing
precision-engineered AAM driveline systems and components.
PACE award winners will be announced at the Automotive News PACE
Awards ceremony on March 23, 2020, at
the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit.
