Because the future isn’t stopping.

The automotive industry is at a turning point in powertrain development. Consumer needs are playing a larger part, shifting focus to efficiency and performance, similar to internal-combustion engine vehicles. Next-generation electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain systems are being developed now to meet these demands, and the latest Amsted Automotive multi-speed shift…

There are 30,000 or more individual components in modern cars, trucks and SUVs. Every one of these parts represents an opportunity to improve the overall efficiency of the vehicle. Amsted Automotive will demonstrate award-winning powder metal and market-leading metal-stamping and cold-forming technology at The Battery Show, offering efficiency gains that will result in increased performance…

The electric vehicle (EV) market continues to change and develop. The industry is currently at a point where next-generation systems are being developed to improve energy efficiency and extend the range of EVs.  Means Industries, an Amsted Automotive company, has developed multi-speed shifting technology with integrated One-Way-Clutch (OWC) functionality which further optimizes function, efficiency, range…

Amsted Automotive will present new solutions for multi-speed shift systems with One-Way-Clutch (OWC) functionality in an upcoming SAE International webinar. This technology, when applied to EV and HEV drivetrains, can provide improved efficiency as well as provide a flexible system solution for simplified controls and increased shift performance, compared to conventional technology.

Amsted Automotive will present and display a variety of drivetrain and metallurgy manufacturing technology at the 16th International Automotive Powertrain Technology Congress (TMC2024) in Qingdao China July 4-5, 2024. Addressing the rapid demand for electrified powertrains and the available solutions will be the focus of the event, previously known as TM Symposium China.

As customer demand and regional legislation regarding powertrain choices continues to evolve, Amsted Automotive is ideally equipped to provide efficient torque-transfer solutions. Amsted will display a cache of multi-functional clutch technologies with benefits in ICE, EV and HEV platforms at the 24th annual VDI Dritev Congress.

The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (JSAE) exposition takes place May 22-24, 2024 at the Pacifico Yokohama in Japan, and Amsted Automotive is displaying several advanced powertrain-enabling technologies.

Amsted Automotive will showcase advanced technologies key to future powertrain development at the 2024 CTI Symposium, May 15-16, 2024. The company’s display will demonstrate the strength of its three core business units: Means Industries, Burgess-Norton and Transform Automotive.

SMW Manufacturing, an Amsted business unit, is at the forefront of cold-formed and net-formed metal manufacturing, and the company will display several of its capabilities at the 2024 World of Asphalt Show & Conference March 25-27 in Nashville.

Amsted Automotive opened a new manufacturing facility in Nanjing, China, expanding the company’s global footprint of automotive supply manufacturing to 22 facilities located in North America, Europe and Asia.    

Amsted Automotive received the 2023 Merit Award for Automotive and Transportation with its novel Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC), an Electro-Mechanical eAxle Disconnect System for electric vehicles (EVs).

As the EV market continues to rapidly expand, electric propulsion systems must be optimized for function, efficiency, range, and cost in order to profitably meet the growth of demand. Amsted Automotive has created a novel, multi-functional clutch technology that improves EV efficiency—facilitating seamless eAWD disconnect. Our controllable disconnect clutch and actuation technology provides full disconnect…
