“The OGeco concept has been designed to provide torque infill from an electric motor during gear changes, providing the refinement of a DCT,” said Oerlikon Graziano head of automotive design, Roberto Gay.
“Increased low speed comfort does not compromise the rapid shift time and responsiveness during spirited driving, thanks to a two-speed electric motor transmission solution enabled by a twin-shaft AMT layout.
“Smooth shifting at low to medium vehicle performance, matches current DCT expectations, and the transition to high-performance is enabled by significant torque infill to reduce shift shock”.
