Manual transmissions (MT) are the economic choice in many markets. MT hybridisation benefits from an automated clutch ("E-Clutch") and vice versa. These synergies occur during engine stop/start, in motion (known as "sailing" or "coasting"), launching and recuperation/boost strategies. P0 and P1 hybrid devices provide a quick and excellent engine restart, which makes sailing comfortable and allows strategies to reduce CO_2 emissions effectively by choosing between sailing, recuperation and boosting. P2 hybrids increase the recuperated energy significantly, but also allow electrical launching and, to some degree, driving too. The E-Clutch controls flexibly whether the clutch stays closed for an electrical launch or modulates the torque in case of a conventional launch. P3, P4 and P5 hybrid strategies additionally coordinate the drivetrain torque during shifts. Rather than overruling the clutch pedal most of the time, these hybrid manual transmissions may use the 2-pedal version of the E-Clutch, the so-called ECM (Electronic Clutch Management) in most cases.
