Ricardo, a British-based engineering company, has recently taken an obligation to manufacture and supply transmission control software for a 7-speed DCT unit for CEVT, a Swedish-based innovation center specialized in mobility technologies for the Geely Group brands. It is planned that the new software will find application in a 2020 compact luxury crossover.

Thanks to significant investments in innovative gear-making machine tools, Ricardo has managed to boost its productivity. To be more precise, the acquisition of a Klingelnberg spiral bevel grinder, costing approximately £1.5m, allowed delivering of market-ready products – backing the company’s intention to meet even the most challenging requirements of its customers on transmission solutions.

Ricardo and DS Performance decided to prolong their impactful cooperation within Formula E season 6. The new deal is based on a fruitful cooperation of many years between two parties, residing in the production and delivery of Ricardo transmission solutions for last season’s car which came out on top in the drivers’ and teams’ competitions.

Ricardo has recently showcased the initial results of an R&D initiative to design a scalable Electric Drive Unit (EDU) for oncoming e-cars at the CTI Symposium 2019 in China. The technology being designed by Ricardo engineers consists of a highly-efficient space-saving e-machine and power inverter, paired to a multi-speed powershift transmission.

Operating under extreme conditions, transmissions installed in Le Mans racing cars still have to timely deliver the necessary amount of torque to the wheels to increase the team's chances of winning. To put it simply, the transmission must be durable and Ricardo knows for sure how to achieve this goal.

Recently, Ricardo has announced the launch of production of newly-designed transmission solutions for the ABB FIA Formula E Championship 2020. This statement manifests the start of the Ricardo’s 4-th season of providing its advanced car components to teams taking part in the most popular 100% electric street racing competitions.

Ricardo plans to showcase a brand-new, reliable and cost-effective manual dual clutch transmission concept (mDCT) intended for enhancing operating capacity in the fast-growing Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) market within the framework of the CTI Symposium America.

Recently, Geely has entered into cooperation with the British company Ricardo aimed to develop, produce and integrate a new sophisticated gearbox solution for hybrid cars with expanded capacities.

Recently at the CTI Symposium in Berlin, the British company Ricardo has presented its cutting-edge e-motor as well as a new dual-clutch transmission (DCT) solution with the east-west mounting, which is notable for its compact size and integration capacities with an e-motor in hybrid vehicles.
