Requirement for Transmission Fluids with Recent Innovation on Transmission Development

摘要

Due to environmental concerns, car makers are confronting issues that vehicles are required to deliver better fuel performance and reduced emissions. This drives transmission supplies to develop new technologies such as CVT, multi-step AT, and DCT to achieve high torque capacity, wide range ratio coverage, high efficiency, high performance, lightweight, and compactness. These transmissions are forecasted to become popular in Japan, in North America, in Europe, as well as in Asia. This presentation outlines our company's profile, the market/technology trend of transmission, and it gives the demand and issues on the transmission fluids that support new transmission technologies.
