Dawn of the DCT?
June 19, 2010 Leave a comment
Dual Clutch Transmissions (or DCTs) have been around for quite some time. In fact Porsche and Audi pioneered the technology in the mid-nineteen eighties in their race and rally cars respectively. However, it took quite some time for the technology to filter through to production cars. Volkswagen was one of the pioneers in the automotive sector, and the transmissions are now making an impact on the market. DCTs use two independent clutches for odd- and even-numbered gears which allow for faster shift times.
