Recently, for the aspects of ecology and economy, fuel efficiency improvement demand has been increased globally. And, various types of hybrid systems have been suggested. In response to this market demand, AISIN SEIKI has been developing Synchronizer-less hybrid automated manual transmission (HV-AMT) system aiming excellent transmission efficiency, excellent agility, and shift change quality like a step automatic transmission (AT). This hybrid system is constructed based upon a parallel 2-axis manual transmission (MT) which originally has high transmission efficiency. The synchronizer system of a MT is replaced by a Dog clutch system which does not spoil the transmission efficiency and never makes failure in synchronization. This Dog clutch system includes a modified detent function, a shift actuator of linear motor, advanced function controls for a clutch and a shift actuator.

In recent years improved emissions control, energy saving devices and safety features have become the driving forces in automotive manufacturing and technology. We have developed the Active-Rear-Steer system with an electro-mechanical actuator, which is an improved safety feature. It also features availability to mass production and a compact size. The system is highly responsive, increasing vehicle performance and stability, thus, enhancing the active safety of the vehicle.
