2. Dual-clutch transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission

   A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission) is a type of multi-speed vehicle transmission system, that uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. [1] The design is often similar to two separate manual transmissions with their respective clutches contained within one housing, and working as ...

3. Hybrid vehicle drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain

   In 2013 a University of Central Florida design team, On the Green, worked to develop a bolt-on hybrid conversion kit to transform an older model vehicle into a gas-electric hybrid. [79] A conversion of a 1966 Mustang was demonstrated by an engineer in California. The system replaced the alternator with a 12 kW (30 kW peak) brushless electric motor.

4. Automated manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

   Automated manual transmissions can be semi-automatic or fully-automatic in operation. Several different systems to automate the clutch and/or shifting have been used over the years, but they will generally use one of the following methods of actuation for the clutch and/or shifting: hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation, [12] electro-mechanical, [13] pneumatic, [6] [14] [15] electromagnetic ...

5. Powertrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrain

   A motor vehicle's driveline or drivetrain consists of the parts of the powertrain excluding the engine. It is the portion of a vehicle, after the prime mover , that changes depending on whether a vehicle is front-wheel , rear-wheel , or four-wheel drive , or less-common six-wheel or eight-wheel drive .

6. Turbo-Hydramatic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo-Hydramatic

   Turbo-Hydramatic or Turbo Hydra-Matic is the registered tradename for a family of automatic transmissions developed and produced by General Motors.These transmissions mate a three-element turbine torque converter to a Simpson planetary geartrain, providing three forward speeds plus reverse.

7. Drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

   Engine and drivetrain of a transverse-engined front-wheel drive car. A drivetrain (also frequently spelled as drive train or sometimes drive-train) or transmission system, is the group of components that deliver mechanical power from the prime mover to the driven components.

8. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

   Efficiency is generally high because most of the dynamic friction is caused by very slight transitional clutch speed changes. The drawback to ratcheting CVTs is the vibration caused by the successive transition in speed required to accelerate the element, which must supplant the previously operating and decelerating power-transmitting element.

9. Drive by wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire

   The modern drive by wire paradigm dispenses with mechanical backups, and relies on redundancy, fail-operational systems, and other safety and security measures: computational redundancy through lockstep CPUs; functional redundancy through modular design where the failure of one module is compensated by an identical module, for example by torque ...
