The Punch DT2 transmission, also called eDCT, is a family of dual-clutch automatic transmissions with six or seven-speeds for light-duty transversely-mounted applications and with the possibility of hybrid implementations.[1][2]

It was designed and manufactured by a joint venture between PSA (later Stellantis) and Punch Powertrain,[3] until February 2025, when Stellantis purchased Punch's stake in this joint venture, taking full control of production activities, which take place at the transmission plant in Mertz, France and at the Mirafiori complex in Italy.[4][5]

DT2 was voted among the top 5 most impressive innovations at the 2020 Transmission Symposium China (TMC) Innovation Competition.[6]

Design

[edit]

The DT2 introduces an innovative dual-clutch system by integrating a planetary gearset with one of the two clutches, creating a shiftable pre-reduction stage ahead of the main transmission gearsets. In this configuration, the DT2 model allows each gearset within the gearbox to provide two distinct transmission ratios: one achieved by engaging the standard clutch and the other by engaging the static clutch (acting as a brake) of the planetary gearset. Consequently, both clutches can connect to the same gearset through pre-synchronization between the two input shafts.[7]

Theoretically, this design consisting of four forward gearsets within the main gear cluster to produce an eight-speed transmission, but a seven-speed structure was chosen to enhance fuel efficiency and improve driver comfort. This innovation leads to a reduction in internal components, allowing a more compact layout, with additional space for an electric motor inside the transmission, making it hybrid.[7]

The DT2 family consists of three different variants, which share 90% of their components, and are designed for engines with a maximum output of 350 N⋅m (260 lbf⋅ft). While the first variant is a conventional transmission, the other two variants are P2.5 hybrids (mild and plug-in hybrid), with electric motors integrated into the transmission.[8]

The mild hybrid variant is equipped with a 48v electric motor that can produce between 21 and 24kW, while the plug-in variant has a 320v motor with a power output between 92 and 115kW.

Application

[edit]

The only applications of the DT2 family are on Stellantis vehicles, in mHEV and PHEV versions.
