The 2009 Honda VFR1200F is the first motorcycle to use a DCT. [52] Honda has since expanded the application of the DCT to the Gold Wing model (model year 2018), the Africa Twin, the NT1100, Rebel 1100, and the NC700XD (model year 2012). In 2010, the Mitsubishi Fuso 6-speed Duonic transmission became the first DCT to be used in a truck. [53]

Schematic of a DCT. A dual-clutch transmission (DCT, sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission, or double-clutch transmission) uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [37] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within one housing, and working as one unit.
