American Axle & Manufacturing invites
CES attendees to visit the future of electric driveline systems at
its booth.
"OEMs partner with AAM to achieve their vision of
sustainable mobility," said David C.
Dauch, AAM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "AAM is
creating some of the most sophisticated technology available today.
This includes our market-ready electric drive systems that improve
packaging, power and range. Innovations like these are driving the
industry's transition to electrification."
The West Hall is located at the northwest corner of Paradise
Road and Convention Center Drive, and exclusively features vehicle
technology and advanced mobility. Show hours vary daily.
For more than a decade, AAM's designers and engineers have been
at the forefront of electrification. Many of these products,
including the company's award winning, next generation 3-in-1
electric drive unit and fully integrated e-Beam axle, are on
display in AAM's booth. Visitors will see nearly a dozen pedestal
displays featuring market-ready EDU systems. AAM experts will be on
hand to answer questions and discuss technologies. AAM also has a
variety of high-tech and interactive exhibits to engage
visitors.
- Battery Electric Truck – AAM engineers have modified a
traditional light duty truck powered by an internal combustion
engine and transformed it into a specially designed battery
electric truck, powered by AAM's 3-in-1 high speed electric drive
units. This 1500 series pickup truck features a single 150kW EDU
driving the front wheels and a dual motor version producing 300kW
in the rear. The 3-in-1 design integrates AAM's proprietary motor,
inverter and gearbox technologies into a single assembly for
advantages in packaging, cost, performance and simplified
integration into vehicle platforms.
The rear axle also features AAM's TracRite® AL automatic
electronic locking rear differential that automatically
synchronizes wheel speeds left to right when it senses wheel slip,
providing maximum traction when needed. This battery electric truck
is one of three AAM has built to develop and showcase
versions of its next gen electric drive axles specifically for the
truck market.
- Vehicle Configurator – AAM's booth is
also highlighted by an interactive display that allows booth
visitors to virtually build their own vehicle using AAM's
compatible systems and components. Once the vehicle is built,
visitors can see how it will perform, with a variety of vehicle
attributes such as peak power, max torque, acceleration, towing
capability and cruising range. From skateboards to performance
sedans, SUVs to heavy duty trucks, and everything in
between, AAM has market-ready modular electric drive
technology to suit the industry's needs.
- Dynamic Tabletop Display – This dynamic display
provides a unique perspective of AAM's product
portfolio of components and assemblies. On a horizontal touch
screen, visitors can learn about inverters, actuators, rotor shafts
and differentials by simply placing a small-scale replica of the
product on the interactive monitor.
- Driving Simulator – AAM's vehicle
simulator allows visitors to experience the difference between an
electric vehicle and a traditional internal combustion powered
vehicle. Drivers can select a virtual ride in either a light duty
truck or a premium performance sedan while learning about
the AAM componentry included in each.
