Summary
Jaguar Land Rover has developed a revolutionary hybrid transmission that will both improve the efficiency of future vehicles and expand our all-wheel drive capability. The £30 million advanced research project, TRANSCEND (TRANsmission Supply Chain Excellence for Next generation Dual clutch technology), uses an innovative ultra-wide ratio spread (20) that integrates the conventional transfer case (low-range
gear box), dual-clutch and hybrid technologies to deliver new levels of off-road performance and fuel economy improvements of nearly 10%.
