DETROIT, April 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- American Axle &
Manufacturing (AAM) will display the latest developments in
driveline technologies at WCX17: SAE World Congress Experience
being held April 4-6 at the Cobo
Center located in Detroit.
AAM – located in booth 2405 – will showcase the following
advanced driveline technologies:
- QUANTUM™ driveline technology which is scalable across a
wide range of vehicle segments and provides substantial advantages
regardless of vehicle size including reduced mass, increased power
density, improved noise vibration and harshness (NVH) and
efficiency gains in a more compact system package.
- EcoTrac® Disconnecting All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) which gives drivers the performance of an AWD
vehicle with the fuel economy of a front wheel drive vehicle by
automatically and seamlessly using only the front wheels when AWD
is not required.
- e-AAM™ Hybrid and Electric Driveline Systems
which deliver increased fuel efficiency, decreased tail pipe
emissions and improvements in dynamic safety, acceleration and eAWD
traction.
The company will debut its virtual reality (VR) product
experience at WCX17. Wearing VR glasses, showgoers will visit AAM's
