Chrysler Group’s new 2008 Dodge Avenger will offer BorgWarner’s interactive torque management (ITM 3e) system as an option.
The technology, launched last year, is the latest, next-generation interactive technology available as part of the supplier’s growing iTrac torque management systems range, a line of active torque management devices focused on the needs of the expanding front-wheel drive/all-wheel drive market.
ITM was first used on the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica.
Along with the hardware, BorgWarner is also supplying the electronics, software controls, and vehicle integration support.
The ITM 3e system uses controls and algorithms to sense slip and switches from front-wheel to all-wheel drive in milliseconds.
