What is the reason why domestic cars use dual clutches?
The reasons why domestic cars use dual clutches are: 1. Huguang Development: On the traditional AT\u002FAMT\u002FCVT automatic gearbox, well-known gearbox suppliers such as Aisin, ZF, Jiekete and Getrag basically formed market monopoly and patent monopoly. Only a dual clutch can bypass these obstacles. Therefore, independent brands have formed a cohesive pattern in the field of dual-clutch gearboxes. In 2009, a joint venture between Borg Warner (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and China Zhongfalian Investment Co., Ltd. (composed of FAW, SAIC, Dongfeng, Changan, Chery, Brilliance, Jianghuai, Changfeng, Geely, GAC, BAIC, Tianhai and Great Wall) settled in Dalian Economic Development Zone. The joint venture company will form a technical platform with key technologies for developing dual-clutch gearboxes, and all participating enterprises can use these technologies to develop and produce their own gearboxes. 2. Advantages of dual clutch: powershift has stronger advantages than traditional transmission. 3. Fuel saving index: domestic engines have low thermal efficiency. If we match the gearbox with low transmission efficiency, it will inevitably lead to high fuel consumption. Low-end cars equipped with AT have higher fuel consumption costs, AMT is too backward, CVT is not resistant to operation, and only the dual clutch looks more in line with the requirements, which sounds like a gimmick. The efficiency of powershift is close to that of manual gearbox, which can undoubtedly reduce fuel consumption.
