MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORPORATION Annual Report 2001 [31]
MMC has bridged this performance
gap by the replacement of VCU-fitted
systems with 4WD powertrains based
on ASD (active slip differential) and a
fully electronic clutch. This system
allows for the slip differential to be ac-
tively controlled, thereby maintaining
the optimal combination of steering
control and driving performance at
all times.
The next challenge for MMC is to
combine the advantages of ASD and
AYC in a single, fully integrated, com-
puter-controlled 4WD system that
promises to deliver improved cornering
performance, higher acceleration
around bends and greater operating
stability than has been possible with
either system employed in isolation.
