Why are domestic cars mostly equipped with dual-clutch transmissions?
1 Answers
Domestic manufacturers prefer dual-clutch transmissions primarily due to fewer technical barriers and relatively easier development. 1. Dry-type: The clutch plates in dry dual-clutch transmissions are not immersed in transmission fluid. Dry dual-clutch transmissions offer faster gear shifts and higher transmission efficiency. 2. Wet-type: The clutch plates in wet dual-clutch transmissions are immersed in transmission fluid. Wet dual-clutch transmissions provide better reliability and durability, and can handle higher torque. However, wet dual-clutch transmissions have more complex structures and higher costs.
