Magna's Scalable Transmission Family
The Eco Family: a product for every hybrid application
The base transmission of the Eco family is a 6-speed dual-clutch-transmission (DCT). The gear set consists of 4 mechanical gears and 2 ‘virtual’ gears. These virtual gears, the 1st and 6th gear, are formed via a bridge. This design makes the transmission extremely compact and lightweight. The hybridized versions build on the same physical gear set. The HDT Eco is available in a 48V and three high-voltage versions.
- Flexible electrification levels with one platform: DCT, HDT 48V HEV, and HV HEV/PHEV, as well as DHD
- Best torque-to-weight ratio with reduced package
- Mature technology through the reuse of existing building blocks
- High CO2 reduction with the lowest complexity
- BEV-like driving with the DHD Eco
Four products - one base transmission
Dual-Clutch Transmisson DCT Eco:
- Gear set consists of four mechanical gears and two ‘virtual’ gears
These virtual gears, the 1st and 6th gear, are formed via a bridge
Extremely compact and lightweight design
Mild Hybrid - HDT Eco 48V:
- Cost-efficient hybrid solution for applications with minimal electric driving needs
- Primarily designed for functions like parking, maneuvering, and stop-and-go
- Provides an economical and practical solution for selected electric driving capabilities
HEV & PHEV - HDT Eco with 50 or 100-kW e-motor:
- High-voltage HDT Eco with 50 or 100-kW e-motor for applications prioritizing electric driving functions and efficiency.
- Demonstrates significant benefits in WLTP and real-world driving conditions with high dynamic loads.
- Utilizes six gears to maintain the full traction force of the combustion engine.
- P2.5 design and compact gearset allow for scalable electrification in a small and lightweight package.
- Suitable for both HEV and PHEV applications.
PHEV - DHD Eco:
- DHD Eco is a hybrid drive with a powerful e-motor as the main source of propulsion.
- It does not require virtual 1st and 6th gears, and neither R.
- Starts up electrically like a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
- Designed to provide a driving experience similar to a BEV and is primarily meant for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle applications (PHEV) with a focus on electric driving.
