Fiat Powertrain Technologies
Fiat Powertrain Technologies has developed a dual-clutch transmission with Magneti Marelli and BorgWarner. Magneti Marelli delivers the control system which integrates BorgWarner's hydraulic actuation module into its own power and transmission control units.[19] It can handle torque inputs of up to 350 N·m (260 lb·ft), making it the highest-torque dry clutch application. Its weight of just 81 kg (179 lb), complete with oil and transmission control unit, its compact three-shaft architecture, especially axially, allowing it to be installed in a wide range of B- and C-segment vehicles. Fiat Powertrain is an independent company looking to maximize its sales to third party organizations, so the DCCT system is likely to go not just to Chrysler-Jeep, which Fiat now controls, but to outside customers, as well.[20] |
