Is Porsche DCT the Same as PDK?
1 Answers
PDK belongs to DCT, where DCT stands for Dual-Clutch Transmission, and PDK is a type of dual-clutch transmission. The PDK transmission was jointly developed by Porsche and ZF Friedrichshafen AG in Germany. Dual-clutch transmission is a relatively common type of automatic transmission, which is developed based on manual transmission. Relevant information about the transmission is as follows: 1. Introduction: A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. It is used to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gear pairs. 2. Function: During driving, to adapt to different working conditions, the driving force and speed of the car need to vary within a certain range. However, the existing engine's torque and speed variation range cannot meet this requirement, hence the transmission is installed.
