Abstract
The automotive industry faces significant changes. Main driver for those changes are legal requirements, new technology trends, new customer preferences and their mobility behaviour. Propulsion electrification could be part of solution to solve new challenges. While combustion engine technology will be part of this future propulsion architecture e.g. in hybrids, manual transmissions are frequently claimed to become obsolete.
But, Opel as well as other car manufacturers still have a high penetration of manual transmissions in their current portfolio for good reasons like high efficiency, low cost, low weight, its proven technology and lower complexity compared to automatic transmissions. Combination of those attributes with a propulsion electrification technology leads to a hybrid version of a manual transmission that could be the successor of the conventional version.
