What kind of transmission is used in the Dongfeng Kicks?
1 Answers
Dongfeng Nissan Kicks is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and the new intelligent X-TRONIC CVT continuously variable transmission. The detailed information about the Nissan Kicks transmission is as follows: 1. The X-TRONIC CVT transmission was jointly developed by JATCO and Nissan, with the model number JF015E. It can withstand a torque range between 110-150 N·m. Since this new transmission is designed to match Nissan's mini and compact cars, its size cannot be too large. To achieve a balance between the reduced size of the transmission and the required transmission ratio, a sub-transmission mechanism was added to this transmission. 2. The new generation XTRONIC CVT transmission incorporates a sub-transmission mechanism (also known as planetary gear technology) connected to the driven pulley. This system includes a set of planetary gears and a clutch, providing two-speed power transmission with transmission ratios of 1.821 and 1.0, respectively. With the addition of this sub-transmission mechanism, the volume is reduced compared to traditional CVT transmissions. 3. After improvements, the new transmission is 10% smaller in size compared to the previous generation. In addition to the sub-transmission mechanism, the use of smaller pulleys and an ultra-flat torque converter also contributed to the size reduction.
