Amsted Automotive is a leader in drivetrain solutions, is uniquely qualified to address the successful transition from internal-combustion-engine vehicles to electric vehicles.

These technologies include Amsted Automotive’s patented DCC, which allows the driveline system to engage and disengage the drive axles, to conserve energy and maintaining on-road and off-road capabilities. Electric pickups currently in production utilize this DCC technology, which can extend the range of an EV up to 10%, depending on the application. A presentation on this novel multi-functional clutch technology can be downloaded at AmstedAuto.com.

Additional Amsted innovations for next-generation EVs include its Powershift Gear Box, Multispeed EV Shifting and Electric Park technologies.
