SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The electric vehicle market is
hot, yet automotive suppliers are facing significant obstacles with
adapting internal combustion engine (ICE) technology to EVs at the
pace required to meet the demand. This includes the challenge of
implementing strategies related to EV-based drivetrains. Yet, in
less than two years, Amsted Automotive Group has gained a worldwide
reputation—and recognition—for helping the automotive industry turn
these challenges into new opportunities for success. It starts with
the unique torque management needs of electrified vehicles and
Amsted Automotive's innovative clutch technology for these
next-generation EVs: Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC), an
Electro-Mechanical E-axle Disconnect system.
At the prestigious 2022 CTI Symposium USA in May—one of the largest events featuring
manufacturers and suppliers for automotive transmission, hybrid,
and electric drive technologies—John Jennings, Amsted Automotive's
Director of Innovation and eMobility, was invited to give a
presentation on the company's novel Multi-Functional Clutch
Technology for EV Disconnects. Jennings detailed the function, efficiency,
range, and cost related to the DCC Disconnect system.
Amsted Automotive was also the subject of the cover story for
the June 2022 edition of a
high-profile industry magazine: SAE International's Automotive
Engineering. The article lauded not only Amsted
Automotive's innovative technologies and production capabilities,
but its ability to help automakers make this important switch to
electrification.
Amsted's break-through technologies that enable smooth and quick
AWD and 4WD operation – Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC), an
Electro-Mechanical E-axle Disconnect system – are incorporated into
volume production electric vehicles which launched earlier this
year.
Amsted Automotive Group was formed in 2021 through the merger of
Amsted Industries with two of its core Tier 1 automotive supply
business units, Means Industries and Burgess-Norton. Amsted
Automotive Group quickly found itself at the forefront of
cutting-edge EV driveline technology, notably its proprietary DCC
Disconnect system. This provides seamless engagement and
disengagement of the rear electric drivetrain while maintaining
on-road and off-road performance. Amsted Automotive Group was able
to adapt the technology for its OEM automotive customers, including
volume-production electric pickup trucks and SUVs currently on the
road. A comprehensive white paper on this Electro-Mechanical E-axle
Disconnect solution and its technologies is available at
