Magna Begins Production of First Mild Hybrid Transverse Transmission for BMW Group
02 Mai 2022 - 02:00PM
Magna continues its accelerated transformation toward electric
mobility with the start of production of its mild hybrid
transmission for BMW Group. Magna’s new 7-speed, mild hybrid
dual-clutch transmission is the latest to be featured exclusively
on BMW Group’s compact class, which underpins all its
front-transverse vehicles.
The contract between Magna and BMW Group also includes
production of mild hybrid transmissions for additional models
extending CO2 emissions reductions across multiple platforms,
starting with the new BMW 2 Active Tourer.
“Our efficient hybrid dual-clutch transmission technology is an
important step in achieving lower emissions and improved fuel
efficiency,” said Tom Rucker, President of Magna Powertrain.
“Leveraging Magna’s broad scalable product portfolio including
hybrid transmissions and eDrives coupled with seamless powertrain
system integration, we are ideally positioned to support customers
including BMW Group in achieving critical CO2 emissions reduction
goals.”
With its specific torque-split concept for hybridization,
Magna’s 7HDT400 48V transmission enables optimal efficiency of an
internal combustion engine and electric motor. It provides a
maximum of 400 Nm of torque as well as offering scalable
functionality benefits.
It also offers high modularity with the following:
- base transmission
- fully integrated e-machine
- on-demand cooling of the clutch and electric motor
- a single oil circuit for cooling and lubrication, and
- a significant reduction in CO2 at Worldwide Harmonized
Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycles (WLTC) and in real-world driving
operations.
The mild hybrid transmissions are built at Magna’s facilities in
Neuenstein, Germany, and Kechnec, Slovakia.
