How is BMW's Dual-Clutch Transmission?

[CarlosFitz]

Here is the relevant introduction about BMW's dual-clutch transmission: 1. Reduced fuel consumption: The dual-clutch transmission itself is a transmission with significant inherent advantages. However, even after years of use in ordinary family cars, dual-clutch transmissions still perform well. Therefore, the primary goal of equipping most current models with dual-clutch transmissions is to reduce fuel consumption, thereby meeting national emission standards. 2. Faster gear shifting: Compared to conventional transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions shift gears faster, achieving almost seamless gear changes. This results in more direct power delivery, higher transmission efficiency, and improved fuel economy. Additionally, their structure is similar to manual transmissions, giving them advantages in both size and weight. They are superior to conventional automatic transmissions in terms of vehicle chassis space arrangement and interior space design, especially when compared to longitudinal automatic transmissions.
