凯迪拉克 XT4 配备 AAM 的全轮驱动取力器 ​

底特律，2018 年 6 月 7 日 – 凯迪拉克 XT4 将于今年下半年上市销售，American Axle & Manufacturing（纽约证券交易所代码：AXL）的动力传动系统技术将帮助提供出色的车辆效率，同时仍然支持全轮驱动 (AWD) 的新增功能。

这款车的双离合全轮驱动系统配有一个 AAM 取力器，使驾驶员能够在非全轮驱动模式下将传动轴与后桥分离，以减少动力传动系统的损耗。此系统使驾驶员可以在需要时选择全轮驱动模式，也可以在不需要时具有与前轮驱动模式相似的燃油经济性。

AAM 董事长兼首席执行官 David C. Dauch 表示：“跨界车细分市场是汽车行业增长最快的豪华车细分市场，而 AAM 随着该细分市场和凯迪拉克一起增长。”“AAM 的 PTU 为这个高端品牌的挑剔客户提供了 AWD 功能，但与传统 AWD 系统相比，其燃油经济性和排放均得到改善。”

当需要扭矩时，连接在车辆变速器上的 AAM 的 PTU 通过传动轴将动力传送至后驱动模组 (RDM)。当全轮驱动模式关闭后，AAM 的 PTU 停止旋转传动轴，从而停止将动力传送至 RDM。这种机制有助于提高燃油经济性并减少排放。

凯迪拉克 XT4 PTU 是 AAM 的 EcoTrac® 可断开式 AWD 解决方案的一部分，该解决方案包括可断开式 PTU、多件式传动轴、带有电子控制单元的后驱动模组和扭矩传递装置。
