LG Innotek Develops World’s First “Rare Earth Free” Automotive DCT Motor
2014.10.16LG Innotek has developed world’s first ‘rare earth free’ automotive dual-clutch transmission (DCT) motor. The DCT motor is a core driving system component that is attached to a dual-clutch automatic transmission. This motor powers the dual-clutch automatic transmission in a fast and precise manner to enable the switching of gears swiftly and smoothly to adjust to different driving conditions. LG Innotek has developed its own technology in motor structure design and succeeded in creating the rare earth free DCT motor that meets required performance standards, while being 4 percent lighter despite being similar in size to conventional DCT motors.
