ABSTRACT
Automated drivetrains, global demand for
manual transmissions continues to grow.
For these markets improvements in torque
capacity, NVH, fuel efficiency and mass
reduction are continually pursued to meet
the needs of the customer. TREMEC has
developed a new family of DCT transmissions
of which the 900Nm is the lead product. The
product respects the installation constraints
typical for RWD applications. It is a 7-speed
transmission with ratios selected so that the
vehicle performance and fuel efficiency targets
are properly satisfied. This presentation will
provide an overview of the demonstrator
project, including: project scope, target
applications, product specifications, primary
technologies, and performance.
