Hyundai Group launches ASC (Active Shift Control) to make gear shifting faster and more fuel-efficient

Hybrid vehicles can be said to be the best alternative products before electric vehicles become fully popular, so before that, we still need to continue to study how to improve fuel consumption. In response to this, Hyundai Group launched the first ASC (Active Shift Control) active shift control device to shorten the shift time and improve fuel consumption.

Electric vehicles have not yet reached maturity in terms of technology, cost and peripheral hardware equipment. Therefore, before they become popular, the hybrid system is undoubtedly the best solution to improve fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Hyundai has also developed the first device that can improve fuel consumption for the hybrid system.

Hyundai's system for improving fuel consumption does not increase the involvement of the electric motor, but improves the transmission system. This first-of-its-kind ASC (Active Shift Control) active shift control device allows the electric motor to synchronize with the engine through computer sensors and the HCU hybrid control unit, while also shortening the shift time of the transmission system from 500 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds, thereby improving fuel consumption. This device not only does not affect the smoothness of shifting, but can even further extend the life of the transmission. Currently, this ASC active shift control device will also be used in the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid model, and of course it will be expanded to other models and Kia brands in the future.

Through computer sensors and the HCU hybrid control unit, the electric motor can be synchronized with the engine, shortening the transmission shifting time by 30%.

Korean cars are the only country in the world that has a complete accessories industry chain. China is not one of them. China still cannot produce AT automatic transmissions and hydrogen-powered cars. The most terrifying thing is that Korea is actually in the first echelon of the world in terms of future automobile development. Even Volkswagen of Germany cannot enter the first echelon. There are only three hydrogen-powered car companies in the world, Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai have squeezed in. In terms of electric vehicles, Panasonic and LG Chem share 70% of the global lithium battery market. I really can't believe that this small country of South Korea has such great energy in automobile research and development!
