In addition, the company has taken up the challenge of creating a hybrid transmission for supercars, to combine the advantages of AMT solutions with those of the dual-clutch technology. Thus was born OGeco, innovation par excellence, that will be presented to the Technology Forum. The new sixspeed hybrid transmission offers performance, efficiency and cost reduction, it is lighter and more compact than traditional DCTs, with "torque infill" to reduce shift shock. The new technology is able to provide an innovative breakthrough for the automotive industry, as manufacturers seek reduced fuel consumption and improved CO2 emissions.
