NEW FROM BORGWARNER: DUALTRONICTM DUAL CLUTCH MODULES NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE AFTERMARKET

Millions of cars on Europe’s roads are already equipped with pioneering clutch systems from innovation leader BorgWarner.

That is why the automotive supplier is now expanding its aftermarket portfolio with the introduction of dual clutch systems for passenger cars. To be specific: BorgWarner will offer six DualTronicTM Modules for some of the most common and widely used vehicle types. The original spare parts, identical to the pro- ducts provided for engine manufacturers worldwide, are produced according to the latest OEM requirements and quality standards and are guaranteed to fit accurately.

Advantages for the customer

Drivers benefit from improved fuel economy that rivals single clutch automated gearboxes, less torque interruption, and superior hill hold and creep performance. Shift quality equal to the best conventional automatic transmissions and adaptive performance contribute to overall enhanced comfort. In the long run, car owners profit from improved durability and reliability.

How it works

BorgWarner´s DualTronicTM wet-clutch technology features tunable launch characteristics and scalable torque capacity in a compact, modular design. The clutch module uses two wet clutches to engage the odd and even gears respectively, allowing shifts within fractions of a second with no perceived interruption of powerflow. The DualTronicTM control module employs low-leakage electro-hydraulic solenoids to precisely control the clutch and the transmission’s gearshift actuation system for responsive shifting and dynamic performance. 
