Is the clutch of Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail a dual-clutch?
1 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail does not use a dual-clutch system. Below is an introduction to the principle and advantages of dual-clutch transmissions: Principle of Dual-Clutch Transmission: A dual-clutch automatic transmission is based on the foundation of a manual gearbox. The difference from a manual gearbox is that in a DCT, two clutches are connected to two input shafts, and gear shifting and clutch operations are achieved through an integrated electro-hydraulic mechatronic module. Advantages of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The gear shifting time of a dual-clutch transmission is extremely short, even faster than that of a manual gearbox, taking less than 0.2 seconds. By eliminating torque interruption, the dual-clutch transmission ensures that the engine power is continuously utilized and always operates at its optimal level, leading to significant fuel savings. Compared to traditional planetary gear automatic transmissions, it is more conducive to improving fuel economy, with fuel consumption reduced by approximately 15%.
