JATCO’s track record can be fairly described as “a history of world firsts,” which include the development and mass production of the first electronically controlled 5-speed AT; the first 2-liter-class steel-belt CVTs; the first high-displacement 3.5-liter-class belt CVT; the first belt CVT with an auxiliary transmission; and the first 1-motor, 2-clutch transmission for hybrid vehicles.
JR502E
JATCO began mass production of 5-speed electric controls
When 3-speed AT and 4-speed AT were the mainstream for their efficient acceleration performance, quietness at high speed and high fuel efficiency, we became the first in the world to develop and mass-produce 5-speed AT electric controls. This historically significant transmission was mounted on Nissan CEDRIC for the first time in the industry, which helped increase the number of speeds in the global automobile industry.
F06A
JATCO began mass production of Belt CVTs in the 2-liter class
In the early 1990's, due to its torque capacity, the CVT was mainly used for small vehicles, although it was capable of delivering power efficiently and improving fuel efficiency. With the launch of this CVT in 1997, a new trend for innovative transmissions was generated by introducing for the first time a basic structure of CVT with a torque convertor which is currently sold by many companies.
JR006E
The launch of mass-production of an ultimate "Toroidal CVT" for the first time in the world
We succeeded in mass-production of "Toroidal CVT" which had been thought to be commercially unviable in the industry for the first time in the world. This is another CVT that enables a quick response and a powerful acceleration with high torque power and low-fuel consumption in addition to elimination of torque variation. JATCO makes the impossible possible through continuous, various challenges in transmission production.
JF010E
Belt CVT with the world's highest torque capacity
We finally succeeded in mass-production of CVT in the 3.5-liter class which had been thought to be impossible for the first time in the world. It made it possible for large FWD vehicles to save fuel consumption. As of March 2010, this CVT maintains the world's highest torque capacity, which shows JATCO's high innovative power.
JF011E
The accumulated production of the CVT attained 5 million for the first time in the world
Because of its fuel efficiency and easy mounting, this global unit is mounted on various vehicles from manufacturers all over the world, currently being produced in Japan, Mexico and China. In December 2004, JF011E was first mounted on Nissan LAFESTA. In July 2010, it became the world's first CVT unit whose accumulated production attained 5 million.
Jatco CVT7
Belt CVT with an auxiliary gearbox with the world's highest transmission ratio developed
By applying JATCO's world's first unique structure of a combination of Belt CVT and an auxiliary gearbox, it made it possible to shorten the overall length by 10% and reduce the weight by 13% compared to a conventional CVT in its class while achieving the world highest transmission ratio of 7.3. We will further explore automotive possibilities in an attempt to create a sustainable mobility society.
JR712E
1-motor, 2-clutches type transmission without a torque converter for hybrid vehicles system developed for the first time in the world
JATCO's first transmission for a "mass-production" hybrid system with both high fuel efficiency and excellent driving performance. By applying 1-motor and 2-clutches and eliminating a torque converter, we succeeded to make its size almost the same as that of a conventional 7-speed AT for RWD vehicles.
Jatco CVT8 HYBRID
The world’s first transmission for hybrid vehicles that utilizes a dry multi-plate clutch integrated with the engine and motor
This unique 1-motor, 2-clutch hybrid system was created by incorporating the world’s first dry multi-plate clutch into an enclosure containing the engine and the drive/regeneration motor. The combination of motor-assisted power, even at low RPM, with the characteristically smooth shifting of a CVT delivers both high fuel efficiency and a direct, satisfying driving experience.
