CO₂ reduction requires

The challenge for further CO₂ reduction requires the holistic view on the complete Powertrain. With extensive knowledge of engine and transmission interaction, FEV is the ideal partner for transmission system development and calibration covering all specific technologies:

• Manual transmission
• Automated manual transmission
• Automatic transmission
  (torque converter automatic transmission,
  dual clutch transmission, continuously variable transmission)
• Transmissions for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
• Transmissions for Battery Electric Vehicles

FEV covers the complete chain of transmission development up to start of production:

• Design & simulation
• Testing
• Software and functional development
• Calibration and validation in the vehicle
• Build of demonstrator vehicle
• Benchmark
• Project management

Together with an OEM, a new dual clutch transmission is developed jointly. The focus is set on simultaneous engineering from the beginning of development. Hand-in-hand work to achieve efficient, but also high quality product at product launch are major targets.

One of FEVs core competences is the development of innovative transmission concepts. Various concepts have been already developed for OEMs and in research projects. One example is FEVs 7-H-AMT, a full hybrid transmission based on an innovative AMT concept, minimizing the traction interruption by the electric machine power.
