(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Detroit, Michigan, March 9, 2012 - American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.
(AAM) which is traded as AXL on the NYSE, today announced the opening of the AAM
Winter Test Center in Arjeplog, Sweden. The facility is strategically located
approximately 60 miles from the Arctic Circle, providing an optimal environment
for customer collaboration, product validation and performance demonstration of
AAM's latest advanced technologies.
The Test Center houses research, test and development areas, as well as private
work zones designed to ensure customer confidentiality. The site provides access
to 15 unique winter road surfaces and private lake test sites on the Colmis
Proving Grounds.
"The AAM Winter Test Center is located in close proximity to several global OEM
winter test facilities," said Group Vice President, Engineering, Product
Development & Procurement Mark S. Barrett. "The long winter season with its
extremely cold temperatures, significant measurable snow, and consistent icy
conditions make it an ideal location for the test and development of AAM's
industry-leading product technologies. These include AAM's EcoTrac(TM) brand of
fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly all-wheel-drive systems and the e-
AAM plug-in hybrid, electric all-wheel-drive, and electric vehicle systems."
"e-AAM is building strong brand recognition with European and Global OEMs as a
technology leader for Advancing Electric Drive(TM) and the Winter Test Center is
just another example of our commitment to support our customers with world-class
testing and research," said e-AAM Managing Director Ronald Schoenbach.
