AAM 荣获Altair Enlighten奖

底特律，2021 年 8 月 4 日 – 美国车桥制造有限公司（纽约证券交易所代码：AXL）是 2021 年“Altair Enlighten”奖的得主，该奖是汽车行业唯一面向轻量化和可持续性的奖项。AAM 创新的下一代电动驱动技术被授予“未来轻量化”奖 类别。

Altair Enlighten 奖已设立 8 年， 旨在表彰在轻量化和可持续发展方面取得的最大成就，对减少汽车行业碳足迹、减少水和能源消耗方面的技术进步，以及材料再利用和回收方面的卓有成效的工作表示认可。这个年度奖项激发了工业界、工程学界、政策制定者、教育家、学生和公众的兴趣，为分享致力于实现可持续发展的最新技术创新提供了环境。

AAM 董事长兼首席执行官 David C. Dauch 表示：“AAM 致力于推进我们所有产品、流程和系统技术的轻量化和可持续性目标。”“我们很荣幸因为一项创新而获得 Altair Enlighten 奖，这项创新对 AAM 和全球汽车行业的未来非常重要。”

AAM 的下一代电驱动单元 (eDU) 将电机、变速箱和逆变器紧密集成到单个轻量级封装中。与其他类似装置相比，这种高度工程化的系统可显著减轻重量，同时不影响任何动力或性能。eDU 紧凑且支持扩展，可用于任何全球车辆细分市场，从最小的微型车到最大的 SUV 或皮卡应用。

“AAM 的工程团队富于创新、活力四射，专注于开发卓越的电驱动技术。我们最新的系统比竞争对手产品轻得多，但仍提供无与伦比的性能和动力，”Dauch 说。“我们非常高兴能通过这项突破性的技术帮助客户提高电动汽车的效率和吸引力。”

这是 AAM 第二次获得 Altair Enlighten 奖。2018 年，AAM 因传统动力传动系统技术方面的轻量化创新而首次获得 Altair Enlighten“未来轻量化”类别奖。

一年一度的 Altair Enlighten 奖旨在表彰每年在车辆减重方面取得的最大成就。该奖项激发了业界、政策制定者、教育工作者、学生和公众的兴趣，刺激了汽车轻量化的进步，并为认可和分享技术成果提供了一个全球平台。
