BorgWarner Transmission Systems Opens New Facility in France

BorgWarner's DualTronic(R) clutch and transmission control technology enables a conventional, manual gearbox to function as a fully automatic transmission by eliminating the "torque-interrupt" feeling that occurs when a manual transmission shifts gears, while delivering performance and fuel economy that rival that of a manual transmission. The technology debuted on the VW Golf R32 DSG and the Audi TT 3.2 in 2003. BorgWarner has announced five programs with four customers, including VW/Audi, Getrag, another European OEM and SAIC in China. Total BorgWarner dual clutch technology programs announced to date represent over 1.5 million transmissions per year at full production volumes.

Tor, as you can see, the dual clutch system does not mean that there are two clutch pedals.
