What does DSG in cars mean?
1 Answers
DSG in cars stands for Direct-Shift Gearbox, which is based on a manual transmission rather than an automatic transmission, making it a member of the AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) family. The DSG transmission is currently one of the most advanced transmission systems in the world, with its most notable feature being the use of a dual-clutch system. In automobiles, the transmission is commonly referred to as the gearbox, while in industrial machinery, it is often called a speed changer. It is a mechanical or hydraulic device for converting mechanical power and is one of the main components of a car's drivetrain. The transmission consists of a gear-shifting mechanism and a control mechanism, and it can be categorized in two ways: by the method of gear ratio change and by the method of operation.
