美国车桥制造有限公司(American Axle & Manufacturing Inc)是全球领先的一级汽车传动系统和金属成形技术供应商，而REE automotive(“REE”)则是电动汽车领域的领军企业。今天，两家公司宣布，双方已达成协议，将共同开发一款全新的电动汽车推进系统。REE正在与特殊目的收购公司10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp(“10X SPAC”)合并，成为上市公司。
Pursuant to the recently signed agreement, the parties intend to leverage AAM’s system integration capabilities and focus on NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) reduction to incorporate AAM’s lightweight and efficient next generation electric drive units, which feature fully integrated high-speed motors and inverter technology, into REE’s highly modular and disruptive REEcornerTM technology that enables a fully-flat EV chassis for multiple commercial vehicle applications. The REEcorner integrates critical vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, powertrain and control) into the area between the chassis and the wheel to deliver significant functional and economic advantages. The electric drive units will be developed at AAM’s Advanced Technology and Development Center in Detroit with delivery of prototypes planned by the end of 2021.
“我们非常兴奋地与REE合作，为市场带来新的电子流动技术，”AAM董事长和首席执行官David C. Dauch说。“本协议为Reecorners提供的电动驱动技术提供了用于Reecorners的一个重要步骤，这是AAM电动推进业务的重要一步，并扩大AAM最新产品的可寻址市场。我们认为，与REE这样的先进技术公司的加入部队将加速AAM在路径上为市场提供电子移动解决方案。“
“我们很高兴与这种突破性的概念进行合作，”Ree汽车的联合创始人兼首席执行官Daniel Barel说。“AAM的模块化驱动解决方案增强了我们的产品，具有高度紧凑的形状因素，将为未来客户提供更多的设计自由和功能。与AAM在汽车和全球制造业的广泛知识中，我们将能够进一步推动Reecorner技术。“
