AAM 和 Drexler 合作生产新型高性能电子差速器

底特律，2018 年 1 月 25 日 -- American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. (AAM) 和 Drexler Automotive GmbH 达成了一项协议，将扩大双方合作关系，并将高性能差速器和差速器技术从高端市场引入乘用车、轻型卡车、跨界车和 SUV 普通市场。

AAM 与 Drexler 扩大合作关系后，立即将机电限滑差速器 (eLSD) 整合到 AAM TracRite 系列差速器产品中。这些系统极大地改善了全轮驱动或后轮驱动车辆的车辆操控性和牵引力。该系统广泛应用于顶级 OEM 的高性能车辆中，可通过将车辆扭矩请求转换为准确的车桥扭矩响应来提供车轮的主动扭矩控制。

AAM 动力传动系统总裁 Alberto Satine 表示：“AAM 和 Drexler 将联手向市场提供成熟的差速器技术，将操控性和牵引力提升到新的性能水平，为普通驾驶员带来福音。”“AAM 与 Drexler 的设计、工程和制造专业知识相结合，将为我们客户提供最优质、最先进的动力传动系统。”

该系统的 PowerDense® 四小齿轮差速器设计使用开放式和 eLSD 差速器以及极小的封装空间，支持车桥模块化。此外，该技术的可扩展离合器、执行机构和差速器设计推动了广泛的应用和车辆细分市场。

Drexler Automotive 创始人 Herbert Drexler 表示：“AAM 的全球规模和大批量生产能力使其成为 Drexler 的理想合作伙伴。”“我们期待设计和开发满足全球 OEM 客户需求的差速器。”

TracRite 机电 eLSD 将于今年晚些时候投产。

Drexler 拥有 40 多年的赛车运动经验，而且作为欧洲顶级汽车制造商的一级供应商已有二十年经验，致力于开发和制造高性能的限滑差速器、赛车变速器、传动轴和轮毂系统。更多信息，请访问www.drexler-automotive.com.
