Magna International Inc earlier this month produced its five millionth Actimax transfer case for the BMW Group.
Magna has been providing the German automaker with drive systems since 2003, including the Actimax transfer case, which powers the dynamic, fuel-saving all-wheel-drive in nearly all BMW xDrive models and is manufactured in Ilz and Lannach, Austria, and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico.
“We are proud of the entire team's commitment as well as the trust that BMW Group has placed in us and our innovative powertrain solutions," said Jake Hirsch, president of Magna Powertrain. "Milestones such as this demonstrate Magna's global leadership position in developing and producing all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems.
Through its powertrain operating unit, Magna is the largest independent 4WD/AWD supplier globally with 29 percent of an $8.2-billion consolidated market. All-wheel drive (AWD) technology, which was once limited to off-road vehicles, is now being used in almost all vehicle segments, including compact cars.
