New ideas in how to control vehicles and how to build them better have earned 11 suppliers a total of 12 Automotive News PACE Awards for 2022.

Continental, American Axle & Manufacturing and Magna International are among the winners. Yazaki Corp. won two PACE awards.

Automotive News announced the winners Monday night at a gala presentation at the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit.

The Automotive News PACE Award, now in its 28th year, recognizes supplier innovations that make it into commercial use.

This year’s recognitions, awarded by an independent panel of PACE judges, range from Aptiv and NVIDIA‘s advances in developing software-defined vehicles, to a more flexible way to run wires through a vehicle in assembly from Yazaki, and Dürr Systems’ faster and more precise way to paint vehicles in two colors.
