dual-clutch system for the first time," said John Sanderson, President and

expertise and product experience of our European team, BorgWarner offers the

The BorgWarner DualTronic control system developed for the dry dual-clutch

fuel consumption. This control module is based on proven solenoid designs
engineered and produced by BorgWarner's facility in Monaco, which has supplied
solenoids for Selespeed and Freechoice automated manual transmissions (AMT)
for over 10 years and will also produce high pressure solenoids for the
automated manual version of the C635 transmission, available in late 2010.

A trusted supplier to virtually every automatic transmission manufacturer in
the world, BorgWarner Transmission Systems produces "shift quality" components
and systems including one-way clutches, transmission bands, friction plates
and clutch module assemblies as well as transmission solenoids, control
modules and integrated mechatronic control systems.
