DW23: Crafted Through Innovation, Strengthened Through Partnership

Over the years, this innovative dual‑clutch transmission has become far more than a technical achievement — it’s a symbol of a partnership built on trust, ambition, and shared vision. The DW23 tells the story of teams pushing boundaries together, combining engineering excellence with unwavering collaboration. Today, we’re proud to take you behind the scenes and explore not only its standout design features, but also the remarkable impact our joint journey has made along the way.

Smart & Compact Gearset Architecture

The DW23’s 6‑speed gear set uses four mechanical and two ‘virtual’ gears, enabling an exceptionally compact and lightweight design.

Enhanced Scalability & Seamless Integration

DW23’s scalability to HDT 48V and high‑voltage hybrid systems enables smooth integration across the CMF‑B platform, ensuring full compatibility with future HDT and DHD configurations.

The Strength of Partnership

The DW23 project stands as a powerful proof of how shared commitment to excellence and innovation can shape lasting success.

DCT Partnership Keyfacts

15 years

For 15 years, we have been united by a successful partnership that has made the DW23 a true milestone.

Interchangeability – Flexible by Design
In the animation we highlight how our Eco Family is designed to align with the flexibility of the CMF‑B platform. By supporting  Dual‑Clutch Transmissions, 48V hybrid systems, and  High‑Voltage hybrid architectures  within the same installation space, our solutions integrate seamlessly into existing vehicle platforms. This modular compatibility enables OEMs to leverage the inherent flexibility of CMF‑B, adapt quickly to changing market requirements, reduce development effort, and future‑proof their vehicle programs with scalable hybrid technologies.
