Which manufacturer produces the Geely Xingrui's transmission?
1 Answers
Geely Xingrui's transmission is independently developed by Geely and Volvo. Geely Automobile Group is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. It has established vehicle and powertrain manufacturing bases in Taizhou/Ningbo of Zhejiang, Xiangtan of Hunan, Chengdu of Sichuan, Baoji of Shaanxi, Jinzhong of Shanxi, and overseas factories in Belarus and other countries and regions. The Geely Xingrui is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The main characteristic of the wet dual-clutch is smooth gear shifting. The method of two clutches handing over the gear shift ensures that the smoothness of the wet dual-clutch transmission can even rival that of a CVT continuously variable transmission. A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. For the Geely Xingrui's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not go for extended periods without changing the transmission fluid. Although many models now feature maintenance-free transmission fluid, maintenance-free does not mean never changing it. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many 'experienced drivers' may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the automatic transmission to overheat and produce a certain impact when shifting back into D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, to demonstrate their 'smooth' operation, shift directly into reverse gear before the vehicle has fully stopped, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in D gear. When facing steep slopes, automatic transmission vehicles often overheat due to high load or may shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, manual mode can be used to limit low gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow over long distances. When an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, a flatbed tow truck should be used to move the vehicle onto the tow platform with the vehicle in N gear, rather than using a tow rope or directly towing the vehicle.
