AEI Tech 2001 Awards

Automotive Engineering International's editors highlight the top products and technologies to be on display at the SAE 2001 World Congress.

The Integrated Air Induction and Fluid Reservoir System from ABC Air Management Systems Inc. combines two independent plastic systems: a blow-molded fluid reservoir and a blow-molded air induction resonator chamber. Once assembled, the complex external feature of the reservoir and resonator form a complete filter housing and a smooth airflow path around the filter element while securing the dirty and clean air ducting. The system assembly uses all available package space functionally eliminating volume losses for clearance, additional mounts, and installation. The product can be found on the 2002 GMT 360-TrailBlazer, Bravada, and Envoy.
