Hybrid Drive

h8-dct-850

8–speed hybrid DCT

Our highly efficient hybrid transmission with an electrical reverse gear for high-performance vehicles

This solution allows new driving strategies and functions, including engine operating point shift, regenerative braking, and DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) functionalities. The most beneficial micro geometry concept has been selected with the help of an in-house automated micro screening tool, using reliable algorithms, leading to an excellent NVH behaviour.

E-reverse

Electric motor is used for reverse

850Nm

High peak torque combined

Production optimised

Quality and efficiency are combined with low weight and reduced production costs

AUTOSAR

Highly customisable functions

State-of-the-art production facility

High-end production including assembly, inspection and end-of-line test in our greenfield facility in the UK on 4400m².

Optimized package

The challenge was to balance functional performance with optimal packaging, height, and length, where package space in “Z” meant limited sump depth available. Here, a fully integrated hybrid module offers torque infill capability for optimised acceleration while single peace clutch housing incorporates all elements, reducing the overall number of components for simpler manufacture.

Validated for highest performance

An iterative approach was taken to simulate, test, and validate the system, refining its performance to achieve the acceleration targets. I.e., the sign off on system level in regard to lubrication was achieved on our dynamic test rig.
