Trends include reducing weight and installation space while increasing service life and reducing costs. Advanced Technology & Reliability
Internal combustion engines generate power by burning a fuel-air mixture in an enclosed space, creating high pressure that pushes a piston down, which in turn rotates a crankshaft.
Modern transmission development focuses on balancing a variety of conflicting goals to optimize performance and efficiency:
Two-speed final drives and computer-based controls are used to optimize drivetrain efficiency in real time.
Transfers power to the wheels.
These engines compress only air (or air combined with exhaust gases) during the intake stroke to achieve high efficiency and compression.
Consistent, high-quality lubrication is critical, often called the "blood" of the vehicle, to reduce friction, prevent overheating, and protect components from wear. Key Transmission Components
