The Automotive Transmission Book

This book presents essential information on systems and interactions in automotive transmission technology and outlines the methodologies used to analyze and develop transmission concepts and designs. Functions of and interactions between components and subassemblies of transmissions are introduced, providing a basis for designing transmission systems and for determining their potentials and properties in vehicle-specific applications: passenger cars, trucks, buses, tractors and motorcycles. With these fundamentals the presentation provides universal resources for both state-of-the-art and future transmission technologies, including systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles.

List of contents

Core tasks of vehicle transmissions.- Shift dynamics and shift comfort.- Power transfer elements.- Actuation, servo and auxiliary systems.- Transmission designs for passenger cars.- Power train electrification.- Transmission applications outside of the passenger vehicle sector.
