48 Volt Mild Hybrid Products

Magna’s mild hybrid transmissions maximize CO2 savings, while being more cost-effective than high-voltage hybrid drives even on vehicle level. Our products set a benchmark for power density as well as efficiency, providing interchangeable flexibility with conventional vehicle platforms. In addition, the Magna 48-volt solution is the first in the market to enable all-electric driving for low vehicle speeds and maneuvering and parking in a series application.  

  • Torque-split architecture with an integrated e-motor, offering convenient electric driving capability and up to 19% fuel efficiency improvement compared to DCTs. 
  • Reliability, safety, and high performance with the reuse of mature technologies, ASIL C compliance, up to 400 Nm ICE torque capacity, and a class-leading torque-to-weight ratio. High commonality with all DCT-based Magna transmissions. 
  • Tailored for C- to D-segment applications, offering a scalable and cost-efficient path to electrification with high component commonality.

Magna DHD Duo

HEV Products

Leveraging extensive experience with hybridized dual-clutch transmissions Magna offers products tailored to any market and segment need with our Eco Family of hybridized dual-clutch transmissions for all HEVs as well as a two e-motor transmission family (DHD Duo) for HEV A to E segment vehicles and SUVs.

  • The Eco family simplifies hybrid concepts by incorporating a powerful e-motor. Shifting the vehicle's dynamic operation towards the e-motor minimizing the need for several gears, resulting in a more cost-effective hybrid transmission solution. Available as transverse application and in a parallel architecture for B to E segments and SUVs.

  • Magna’s 48V scalable Eco transmission family offers flexible electrification levels within one platform: DCT, 48V HEV, and HV HEV/PHEV at best torque-to-weight ratios and minimized packaging needs. 

Magna DHD Eco

PHEV Products

With it’s DHD Eco (one e-motor architecture) and DHD Duo (two e-motor architecture) Magna offers powerful and cost-efficient products for Plug-in hybrids supporting BEV-like driving. Designed to optimize combustion engine usage, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while enhancing traction, launch acceleration, and stop-and-go operation. Our portfolio covers vehicles from A to E segment incl.  SUVs.  

  • Magna’s cost-efficient plug-in hybrid transmissions reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.  

  • Modular and scalable design makes it adaptable to different vehicle segments, markets, and range requirements.
