How to choose DCT and AT, and how to choose the gearbox that suits you best?

In the automobile market, the choice of gearbox has always been the focus of consumers’ attention. As two mainstream transmission types, DCT (powershift) and AT (Automatic Transmission) have their own advantages and disadvantages. So, how to choose? This article will give you a detailed analysis from many aspects.

First, understand the basic principles of DCT and AT.

The core principle of DCT, namely powershift, is to split the manual gear into base gear and even gear, and then equip two clutches to drive them respectively. This design makes the shift speed faster and the power output more direct. AT, the automatic transmission, automatically shifts gears through the hydraulic torque converter and multiple pairs of planetary gear sets, making driving more convenient.

Second, the size and transmission efficiency comparison


In terms of size, DCT has obvious advantages Take ZF’s 9AT as an example, its length is 521 mm, while Volkswagen’s DK500 powershift is only 400 mm.. This means that in the same space, DCT is easier to arrange and provides more possibilities for vehicle design.

In terms of transmission efficiency, DCT also performed well. The transmission efficiency of dry powershift is about 90%-95%, which is close to manual gear. The wet powershift is slightly lower, accounting for 86%-92%. The transmission efficiency of AT transmission is generally in the range of 82%-90%. This means that under the same conditions, DCT can give full play to the power of the engine.

Third, driving experience and fuel consumption performance

DCT has fast shifting speed and direct power output, which brings more radical driving experience to drivers. At the same time, because of its high transmission efficiency, DCT is also relatively good in fuel consumption performance. AT is famous for its stability and smoothness, which is suitable for drivers who pay attention to comfort and convenience.

Fourth, reliability and maintenance costs

Regarding reliability, DCT and AT have their own advantages. As long as the heat dissipation problem of DCT is solved, its performance is better than that of AT in all aspects. However, in practical use, AT is trusted because of its mature and stable structure. In terms of maintenance cost, due to the complex structure of AT, once a fault occurs, the maintenance cost is relatively high; DCT, on the other hand, is relatively simple and has low maintenance cost.

5. How to judge whether the gearbox matches well or not?

When choosing a car, it is very important to judge whether the gearbox matches well or not. You can experience the shifting logic, frustration and noise of the gearbox through the test drive. A good gearbox should have smooth shifting process, low sense of frustration and good NVH performance.

VI. Suggestions on product positioning and selection

In the automobile market, different types and different price models are often equipped with different types of gearboxes. Generally speaking, high-end models prefer to use AT gearbox to reflect their quality and stability; The models that pursue sports style and cost performance are more likely to choose DCT gearbox. Therefore, when choosing, you need to make a decision according to your actual needs and budget.

To sum up, DCT and AT have their own advantages, and which gearbox to choose depends on your personal preferences, driving habits and actual needs. If you pursue aggressive driving experience and high fuel consumption performance, DCT is undoubtedly a better choice; And if you pay attention to comfort and convenience, then AT is more suitable for you. When making a decision, please be sure to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of various gearboxes and weigh them according to your actual situation.

China Petrochemical Shanghai two gas stations sell biodiesel.

  The launching ceremony of biodiesel (B5) made from kitchen waste oil in China Petrochemical Gas Station was recently held in Zhuanghang Gas Station, Fengxian District, Shanghai.

  Xu Kunlin, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said that the start-up of the pilot project of adding kitchen waste oil to biodiesel B5 at Sinopec gas station is of great significance, which indicates that the "last mile" of resource utilization of kitchen waste oil in this city is about to get through. He demanded that all relevant units continue to deepen the pilot work, oil supply enterprises should ensure the quality of oil products, and relevant government departments should further strengthen the division of labor and cooperation, actively serve enterprises, and lay a solid foundation for the promotion of the whole city next year.

  Zuo Xingkai, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Petrochemical Shanghai Petroleum Company, said that the "normalization" of biodiesel applied to vehicles can not only eliminate the safety risk of waste oil returning to the dining table, but also help to reduce urban pollution, which is a major event benefiting the country and the people. Shanghai Petroleum has a great responsibility and a glorious mission to get this pilot promotion opportunity, and will do its best to do this low-carbon environmental protection project.

  At present, Shanghai Petroleum has chosen two gas stations as pilot stations to fill biodiesel for the city’s transportation system and vehicles in specific industries. After a period of operation, it will be evaluated and then gradually opened to social vehicles. During the pilot period, the retail price of B5 biodiesel is 95% lower than that of vehicle diesel, with a discount of 0.30 yuan/liter, which encourages more social vehicles to use biodiesel.

  It is reported that Shanghai has made it clear that the kitchen waste oil collected by the whole city will be given priority to the bus pilot project. As long as conditions permit, about 30,000 to 40,000 tons of kitchen waste oil produced in Shanghai can be transported to designated units to produce biodiesel. In addition, Shanghai promulgated the Emergency Support Measures for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Biodiesel Made from Waste Kitchen Oils, which requires that in case of market failure, the relevant disposal enterprises should be subsidized to ensure their normal operation.
