A new version of the Shengrui 8AT transmission
adds stop/start functionality to the capabilities of this eight-speed automatic
transmission, co-developed with Ricardo.
Shengrui’s 8AT transmission, the result of a
longstanding collaboration with Ricardo, is already manufactured at the rate of
over 8,000 a month. The launch of stop/start has the potential to increase
this number.
Under its new
contract, Ricardo will support Shengrui Transmission Corporate Limited on the
development and first vehicle application of the new stop/start capable version
of the 8AT.
Ricardo will
review also the required modifications to the transmission’s control software
necessary to facilitate stop/start operation, and will assist in calibrating
the unit to the vehicle to ensure that the required in-use performance is
delivered.
Ricardo Asia
president, Gary Tan, notes: “Ricardo is once again honoured to have been
selected to support Shengrui on the further development of the 8AT transmission
in the form of the new stop/start capable variant. Our collaboration with
Shengrui is a fine example of how we can help leading Chinese companies with
their aspirations to develop world-class and highly innovative products from
concept to production."
