Which manufacturer produces the Haoyue's transmission?

Haoyue uses a 6-speed automatic manual transmission from Aisin, while the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission is jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional research and manufacturing company for automotive automatic transmissions, affiliated with the Toyota Group in Japan. Geely Automobile Group is a leading Chinese car manufacturer. Volvo Group is a Swedish company that produces trucks, buses, construction equipment, yachts, and industrial engines, founded in Gothenburg in 1927. Haoyue's transmissions include a 6-speed automatic manual and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch. The automatic manual transmission is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. The wet dual-clutch transmission has its clutch plates immersed in transmission oil. This type of transmission offers excellent heat dissipation, can handle higher torque, and provides good reliability and durability. For daily use of Haoyue's transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged use of old transmission oil can damage internal components like bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a shock when shifting back to D. Never shift into D/R before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers shift into reverse while the car is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to grinding and other faults over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D. Automatic vehicles can overheat under high loads or shift too early, causing a lack of power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the platform in N, rather than towing it directly with a rope.
I drive the Haoyue, which uses Geely's in-house developed dual-clutch transmission, independently researched and manufactured by the Geely Group. During daily driving, gear shifts are quite smooth, especially in stop-and-go city traffic without any jerking. The transmission type is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch, paired with a 1.8T engine, and fuel consumption is well controlled. From what I know, after Geely acquired Volvo, there were technological upgrades, and most Haoyue owners report good reliability with no major issues. It's recommended to pay attention to the transmission fluid replacement cycle to avoid overheating. Overall, as a domestic SUV, the Haoyue has established its reputation with this transmission, making it suitable for family use.
