Sentences with phrase «transmission friction loss»

How can you get better engine efficiency or better mileage with a CVT with more transmission friction loss than dual clutch units?

According to the Honda Accord's Chief Engineer, Koji Ninomiya, the key advantage of Honda's two - motor approach over the power - split design is its simpler gearing which can reduce internal transmission friction losses by as much as 50 percent.

Not exact matches

In all modes, the Golf reduces friction losses by decoupling the motor from the one - speed transmission and «sailing» whenever you lift off the pedal.

The all - new Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) eight - speed twin - clutch automatic transmission delivers 28 - percent less friction loss than its predecessor, and shifts just as smoothly.

In the manual transmission - equipped 86, this engine reduces friction and pumping loss, helping to provide an optimized power curve.

CVTs are friction devices and have continuous friction type loss and wear whereas the dual clutch transmission only exhibit friction loss and wear during the actual shift which takes less than a second.

Like dual clutch transmissions it can powershift so it doesn't have torque interruption on acceleration, and it can friction launch, so no torque convertor losses are necessary.

Specially designed grooves on the friction material which are integrated into the friction lining for oil flow and cooling provide very low losses at the clutch in the open state, enable high transmission efficiency and smooth shifting capability while increasing fuel economy.

Friction - reducing design features, including all - new ultra-low viscosity transmission fluid, internal thermal bypass, minimal number of non-applied clutches and other lower mechanical spin losses, contribute to the 10 - speed's effect on improved vehicle efficiency.

The new transmission also features a three - pronged approach to friction loss, ultimately boosting economy.

The advanced solution also employs high - energy wet friction materials with a special groove design to minimize spin losses and provide improved heat resistance, high torque capacity and reliable operation over the transmission's lifetime.
