Trends include reducing weight and installation space while increasing service life and reducing costs. Advanced Technology & Reliability

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

Modern transmission development focuses on balancing a variety of conflicting goals to optimize performance and efficiency:

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.

Two-speed final drives and computer-based controls are used to optimize drivetrain efficiency in real time.

Phase I of the study investigated the emission-criticality of original equipment installed by the engine or vehicle manufacturers. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (.gov)
