DETROIT, MICHIGAN-October
14, 2013 - American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM)
announced today it was selected as a 2014 Automotive News PACE
Awards finalist for its EcoTracTM
Disconnecting All Wheel Drive (AWD). This industry first
technology is featured on a major crossover vehicle program
launching this year.
AAM's EcoTracTM
Disconnecting AWD is an innovative approach to provide enhanced
vehicle control while maximizing fuel economy by disconnecting many
of the rotating components from the driveline when they are not
needed. EcoTrac(TM) enables an AWD vehicle to utilize its
primary drive system, the front wheels, when AWD is not required.
When the vehicle senses that AWD may be necessary, the system then
automatically transfers to AWD, without disturbance to the driver.
As a result, EcoTracTM provides
reduced emissions and the benefits of an all-wheel-drive system
without incurring the traditional one to three mile per gallon fuel
economy penalty.
"AAM's new EcoTracTM
Disconnecting AWD responds to the requirements of Corporate Average
Fuel Economy standards, consumer needs and global concerns," said
David C. Dauch, Chairman, President & CEO of AAM. "AAM is
committed to developing innovative technologies to strengthen our
position as a product, process and systems technology leader and we
are pleased to be recognized as a PACE Award finalist."
The Automotive News PACE Awards honor superior
innovation, technological advancement, and business performance
among automotive suppliers. AAM was chosen among 34 other
innovative finalists for the 2014 awards.
