The Honda e is an battery electric car that was manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda and sold in Japan from 2020 to 2024 and in Europe from 2020 to 2023. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It is a supermini with a five-door hatchback design and a battery-electric powertrain that drives the rear wheels .
Honda was forced to invent their new system due to the vast array of patents on automatic transmission technology held by BorgWarner and others. Honda initially chose to integrate the transmission and engine block for its first application (in the N600) as in the Mini. The Hondamatic incorporated a lockup function, which Honda called a third ...
It has an optional six-speed push-button operated dual clutch transmission with three modes: automatic, sport and manual. The modes are similar to those on the Honda DN-01 but with a conventional gearbox shifted automatically, similar to a "Tiptronic" system, and without a hand-operated clutch rather than a hydrostatic drive.

These electronic systems typically work in conjunction with the engine control unit (in a similar way to road cars), and are responsible for operating electronic throttle control, clutch and gearshift actuation (via an electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuator), gearshift time and speed, sensors, switches, solenoids, and other hydraulic ...
These valves have been unpopular with some drivers and are sometimes removed in favour of a conventional clutch action. [2] The BMW valve takes the form of a separate pipe fitting and is easily removed. Honda has also used clutch delay valves on some Civic models, which are integral to the clutch slave cylinder and must be dismantled in situ. [3]
The clutch slips until the input and output RPMs are matched. This happens relatively quickly typically (0.2 - 2 sec). When the current is removed from the clutch, the armature is free to turn with the shaft. Springs hold the friction disks away from each other, so there is no contact when the clutch is not engaged, creating a minimal amount of ...
Torque vectoring is a technology employed in automobile differentials that has the ability to vary the torque to each half-shaft with an electronic system; or in rail vehicles which achieve the same using individually motored wheels.
The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.
