The paper presents a new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for transverse applications and a torque capacity of 200 Nm with an option for 300 Nm engine torque. Advantageously the system is designed for supplier parts of dual-clutch system, gear and clutch actuation, differential as well as bearings, synchronizers and additional standardized parts. The actuation could be also realized by an already developed hydraulic module which can be used and produced locally with supplier parts of valves, sensors and so on. Furthermore, the gear set is a state-of-the-art system which can be supplied by manual transmission manufacturer. Beside the cost focus. the DCT has a favorable gear set in terms of robustness and compactness. The design with a total length of 350 mm is realized through a common gear on the main shaft for each gear pair on the countershafts and multiple use of gears in the first speed.
