DETROIT, Aug. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaguar's first
all-electric production vehicle, the I-PACE, features American Axle
& Manufacturing's all-wheel-drive front and rear e-Drive
units.
The e-AAM Hybrid and Electric Driveline™ BEV system
delivers 400 hp., 516 lb. ft. of torque and high-performance
all-wheel-drive via two electric drive units. Capable of reaching
60 mph in just four seconds, AAM's system provides maximum
performance in a compact design.
"AAM worked with Jaguar to design, develop and build the
high-performance and highly efficient e-AAM electric drive units
for the I-PACE," said David C.
Dauch, AAM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"Technologies that move forward vehicle electrification --
particularly the driveline -- are an integral part of AAM's product
portfolio and we continue to advance electrified solutions with
other global customers."
AAM's I-PACE system includes two power dense electric drive
units that are designed to maximize power but minimize system space
and help contribute to the vehicle's low center of gravity. Using
Jaguar-designed permanent magnet motors, AAM's independently
controlled drive units provide immediate torque and all-wheel drive
for optimal control and maximum safety.
AAM designed and engineered the I-PACE e-AAM system at the
company's Trollhättan Technical Center in Trollhättan, Sweden. The system is built in Poland at AAM's Świdnica Manufacturing
Facility, which is dedicated to producing precision-engineered AAM
driveline systems and components.
