Název projektu:
Game Changing Automotive Transmission (12 LU 87GA 3O34)
Popis:
A large US company is looking for proposals for development of game-changing automotive automatic transmission that can perform better than current ATs, DCTs, IVTs, CVTs and others.
They are interested in licensing, product acquisition, contract research, proof of concept leading to scale up to manufacturing, joint development, supplier agreement, etc.
Country: Luxembourg Type: REQUEST Date: 31.01.2012
Multi-stepped transmissions known as conventional automatic transmissions (AT), dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), or automated manual transmissions (AMT), as well as infinitely variable transmissions (IVT) and continuously variable transmissions (CVT) are well known technologies today and are in volume production around the world. Is there a new generation automatic transmission that can perform better than these current systems in torque capacity, efficiency, cost, and packaging? At the outset, the client wishes to exclude electrified transmissions (such as hybrids and pure electric drives) and toroidal type traction drives. The game changing transmission must especially be able to accommodate new generation engines (unique combustion systems, downsized and boosted, etc.) that may be coming to the market in 5 to 10 years. The output shafts of these new engine may feature significantly different torque and speed characteristics throughout their operating range than those of today.
The client is seeking a new transmission technology that is significantly better than current approaches as measured by mechanical efficiency, product cost, driveability characteristics, packaging, etc. This new technology must be able to alter speed ratios to achieve the desired powertrain performance for wide variations in engine output torque and speed.
The client wishes to exclude component-upgrade solutions, such as dog clutches in place of a torque converter, etc. The mechanical, hydraulic (if any) and controls portion of the transmission must be as simple as possible.
Possible approaches might include but are not limited to:
- Alternate gear technology, non-circular gears
- Other unique approaches.
The following approaches are not of interest:
- Computational model or "paper" studies with no hardware demonstrated
- Hybrid transmissions (designed for multiple prime movers).
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The successful technology will:
- Outperform current systems in mechanical efficiency, torque capacity, packaging cost, and NVH
- Accommodate next generation engine characteristics with regard to power and speed ratio
- Meet the following requirements:
Input torque from 200 up to 500 Nm
Easy to control (shift control, ratio or torque control)
Easy to manufacture (comparable to a conventional planetary gear type transmission)
Driveability (shift quality, NVH) must be comparable to a conventional AT
Warranty comparable to an AT
Meet a cost target of less than or equal to a conventional AT fitted with a torque converter
Serviceable
Adaptable to FWD, RWD, or AWD type vehicles.
They are interested in licensing, product acquisition, contract research, proof of concept leading to scale up to manufacturing, joint development, supplier agreement, etc.
