GETRAG recently entered into two new alliances with Ford and DaimlerChrysler to produce the Dual Clutch Powershift Transmission at two new plants in North America - one in Tipton, IN and the other in Mexico; production will begin in 2008 for DCx (Tipton, IN), 2009 for Ford (Mexico) and then an additional DCx volume out of Mexico in 2010. The temporary headquarters for the new division, GETRAG Transmissions Corporation (or GTC), is located in Sterling Heights, MI. The permanent headquarters will be constructed by end of 2008 at another suburb of Detroit.


The Dual Clutch Transmission combines the advantages of a manual and an automatic transmission, and is more energy efficient than either. Shifting between gears will be unnoticable to passengers. Two main versions will be produced: a "wet" clutch version which utilizes hydraulic fluid for shifting and a "dry" clutch version which uses electronic motors to control the clutch.
