What does automatic dual-clutch mean?
1 Answers
Automatic dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. Dual-clutch: A dual-clutch transmission differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmissions yet belonging to the automatic transmission category, it is a transmission mechanism capable of both transmitting and cutting off power. Its primary functions are ensuring smooth vehicle starts, reducing impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and preventing drivetrain overload. Disadvantages of traditional manual transmissions: Traditional manual transmissions use a single clutch. During gear shifts, the driver must depress the clutch pedal to engage different gears, resulting in power interruption during shifting and intermittent power delivery.
