SOUTHFIELD, Mich. , Feb. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of vehicle propulsion is not simply a trending topic. It's a global reckoning. Electric vehicles are in high demand, and automakers are seeking ways to make a smooth transition from internal-combustion engines to electrified drivetrains. Next-generation technology is at the forefront, and leading the way is Amsted Automotive with its Dynamic Controllable Clutch (DCC), an Electro-Mechanical E-axle Disconnect system for EVs. Amsted Automotive will join other experts in propulsion development at the 8th Future Propulsion Conference (FPC2023) on March 1-2, 2023, at The National Motorcycle Museum in Bickenhill, Solihull, England.

FPC2023 unites researchers, engineers, and scientists from academia and industry, and will include sessions about batteries, fuel cells, regulations, and other propulsion topics facing the automotive industry over the next 10 years.

John Jennings, Amsted Automotive Director of Innovation and eMobility, will present the company's Novel Multi-Functional Clutch Technology for EV Disconnects. The DCC system engages and disengages the drive axles, while also conserving energy and maintaining on-road and off-road capabilities. This allows an EV's range to increase by 10 percent. Other capabilities include seamless AWD and 4WD disconnect and quick, reliable shifts for a more efficient and versatile electric drivetrain. The technology is currently in volume production electric pickups.

Amsted Automotive's booth is located in the Manxman Suite, booth #51, and will offer demos of the DCC system. A copy of Jennings's presentation on this technology can be downloaded at AmstedAuto.com.
