Fuel-Saving Smart Clutch Control System

Automated Clutch

Automated Clutch is a clutch control device that offers automated gear shift in manual transmission vehicles, without having to work the clutch pedal. Gear shifting is attained by maneuvering the brake pedal or turning on or off a switch placed on the shifter.

○ Advantages of Fuel-Economy Smart Clutch
 - The fuel-economy Smart Clutch is a true innovation. Its electronic clutch control system shifts gear just like automatic transmission, but preserves all the benefits of manual transmission, i.e.superior power and and mileage and remedies any challenges that arise from demanding mastery level or fatigue concern. It is environmentally friendly, too, significantly reducing CO2 emission.
- The most significant feature of this mechanism is that it is designed to allow flexible driving after the vehicle's safety has been secured. Its 10 to 25% oil savings corresponds to the national green growth policy, which makes it a highly feasible business as it will attract both suppliers and buyers.

○ Development Status
 - Automated clutch can be divided into three types, depending on the configuration and control method.
- 1st generation, Robot Clutch : As an initial model of the automated clutch, The vehicle information is obtained through the signal detection using the sensor.  And the way that it controls. (Sensor+ Stepping motor)
 - 2nd generation, Ecolutch : Unlike the Robot Clutch, to obtain the information of the vehicle through the vehicle ECU.  And the way that it controls. (ECU+ Pneumatic control)
 - 3rd generation, Smartlutch: The model integrates the advantages of Robot Clutches and Ecolutch. (ECU+ Stepping motor)

○ IP Status&Certification About Automated Clutch
 - Automated clutch technology has been the national patent and CE certification. And it was applied for patent in the United States, India and China. In particular it is a state that is registered in China and US. It will also continue to apply for a patent.
