The DCT transmission will be installed on three BYD models, reported the Beijing Times citing internal sources from BYD. The sources added that as there is a higher price attached with the usage of the in-house transmission, there will be a slight increased in car prices.
The transmission is noteworthy for the considerable fuel savings it provides, the report added.
