SAE Technology Series Webinars—Transmission Technology Webinar Series

New! Fundamentals of Continuously Variable Transmission Technology Webinar
This webinar will focus on the basic functionality and configurations, high-level architecture, and block diagram type logic of modern automatic transmission powertrain control systems for enhanced vehicle operation, improved powertrain efficiency/reduced vehicle emissions, smooth transition from one speed ratio to another, and when powertrain system optimization relies on precise ratio selection. The course will also present a high-level description of the connectivity between the various control units, their architecture and the powertrain configurations with which they are matched.

Also available as a Webinar Recording.

New! Powertrain Control Unit/Transmission Control Unit Technology Webinar
This webinar will highlight the various mainstream CVT technologies as they apply to automotive applications — fundamental operational principals, the reliance on friction as the primary means to transmit power, and the specific characteristics of the common fluids used in these types of transmissions.

New! Review of AMT and DCT Technology Applied to Automotive Powertrain Webinar
This webinar will provide those with a basic understanding of automotive transmission technology and components the fundamentals of dual-clutch technology, its application, and its significance as it applies to improvements in all facets of an automotive powertrain. Further, the webinar will explore the versatility and operator satisfaction that vehicles equipped with dual-clutch systems can provide.
