Benda Files Patent for Proprietary DCT, Controlling Two Clutches with Electric Motors Instead of Hydraulics

It's genuinely an interesting era when Chinese makers come at you with mechanism patents like this.

Before they can call it their own DCT, the question is whether it can match the polish of Honda's e-Clutch.

What's the advantage of driving the two clutches with separate motors?

Going their own route against Honda's hydraulic DCT - China's really pushing hard here.

A patent filing doesn't equal a shipping product though. Whether Benda can actually get it to mass production is a separate matter.

Ditching hydraulics for electric motors controlling each clutch independently - that's an interesting idea.
