@@V12Buickguy Dual clutch automatics... because they didn't want to pay for patent fees for automatic technology. So their automatic looks like a manual transmission inside... but with the classic input/countershaft and output shaft. They can't compound a variety of gear sets... yet.

I’d love to. Gotta be easier than the normal system of syncro rings and stupid little levers and arms and all the other crap. Obviously you misread the intention of my initial comment, which was one of those “ how has no-one thought of this before” moments. Add clutches, reduce cogs, get more gears and smoother shifting. Its fricken brilliant in its simplicity.
This is some very old technology, If I'm correct the reason it's not used commonly is because the low weight isn't much of a benefit in cars that have a quarter of their weight come just from comfort equipment that noone uses, while this transmission has poor efficiency, and much power is lost due to the friction. Remember:All gears are being driven, even if not engaged to the shaft. However, uncommon with cars, this thing is supposed to be the transmission of scooters, but don't quote me on that, I don't know much about motorcicles.

DON'T.
🔥"IMPORTANT POINT"🔥 I have observed that there is some miss interpretation about clutches. Here's the point. Clutches replace synchronizers not dog clutches( 1:1 couplers to connect shaft and gears). Hence the point of friction loss cannot be related that much, as once gear is engaged clutches have no role to play for power transmission. The only use of clutches here is to eliminate synchronizers due to their limitations. While clutches of more specifically wet clutch packs are better to relay at high speed for smooth shifts. That should make the point clear.
Untangle Club The clutches replace the synchros and/or dog clutches. They most certainly do transmit all of the torque. There are no synchros or dog clutches, that’s the whole point of this. To reduce weight by eliminating shift forks and rails and all that associated stuff. And for lighting fast on power seamless shifts.

So this is basically a bicycle's transmission with 3 cogs in the front and 3 cogs in the back + it has a lot of clutches and a reverse gear + a LOT OF GENIUS ARRANGEMENT. Got it
I think Cristian said tjat the gearbox of the chiron weighs about 300 kg. But not available to buy so we made our own gearbox. He also said that he will problably blew up a few gearboxes before he gets the strength right. Brave man. Almost all the vehicles is sold already of the production run.

Koenigsegg already has a video explaining it. it is just a torque converter and a single ratio, with electric motors helping to provide low down torque when needed.
Love it bro this is the first video I have seen in this channel And I was really desperate for this video I really thank you from my heart You also got a new subscriber
Early Saab’s had a very similar set up using three shafts to generate four forward gears using compounding of two ratios per “gear” because there was a dropper gear on the third shaft. This made the gearbox only about 250mm long excluding the differential.
Great video, however, everyone has been getting this one detail wrong. This car is not the car that will do 300Mph. The first version of the car is called the Jesko. It is the track version of the car with maxed out aero. The aero will not allow 300Mph. But Mr Koenigsegg himself said that there will be a future version of the car with a smaller rear wing and less aero that will be capable of the 300mph speed. That car he said will be called the Jesko 300 or something. He wasnt very specific with the name.
The 300mph version will also have a much simpler suspension setup as it won't require the third cross damper both front and rear, which in the track version is required to help maintain the ride height under such high downforce.
Damn this is impressive, having the shafts constantly rotating instead of the pause when engaging the clutch on a typical manual is beneficial not to mention the small size. the only thing i consider is being synchros are metal 'gears' themselves replacing them with clutches a typical wear item, what is the life expectancy comparably. I imagine it would work fine on a super car which typically hold low miles but i imagine this would not work on a daily.
Phil Nolan Dual clutch is twice as heavy... Maybe it can be much lighter for a 180HP family sedan, but for a super/hypercar, it is as light as it gets.
Similar idea class 8 trucks do with hi/lo range and splitting gears. Although this uses clutches rather than shifting forks and collars. I couldnt comprehend how a transmission could have 7 clutches. This explains it well, they are mini clutches on the 3 shafts that engage each gear ratio. Rather than one big clutch slowing the input shaft. Genius.
Very similar to how the automated gearboxes of a lot of off-highway machines work (e.g., JCB powershift), except on a smaller scale and probably much more optimised and refined.
Tractors have been using this "power shift" transmissions for years to handle tons of torque from diesel engines , the clever idea here's to make it light and compact to be used in a car.
@mondayfool In this design even with wet clutches, they are all locked, since it does not have a torque converter, input and output shafts have constant speeds and can be 1:1 when needed. The idea in tractors is not to stall the engine when you have the implement down and you need to shift up, it gives you seamless shifts, what Koenigsegg is claiming with this design. Efficiency depend on the application.
Parallel axis gearboxes with multiple torque paths are not new, for example Daimler are in series with their 8 speed DCT which uses multiple torque paths. There are quite a number of challenges in the Jesko layout shown, not least that it has no launch clutch, so at least one of the shift clutch(es) will have to handle a lot of slip power, and it will rattle in neutral across the meshes with the cyclics from that flat plane crank . The cartridge valves look like high pressure parts, and will struggle with precise control for smooth launch/shifting, plus the anticipated 20-30ms shift time might be interesting with a typical valve of that type having a 15ms+ E-H delay, even without any 'security' valves or forced low line pressure to prevent unwanted (high A-SIL) torque at the wheels in case of a single point hydraulic failure. All that being said, lovely to see Koenigsegg trying new things, and I really hope that they solve the issues - we must keep moving forwards!
To put it in simple words. When input is recieved on the frst shaft it can be transferred to 3 gears on the second shaft. When it is transferred to the first gear on that shaft. Rpm decreases for the second shaft and is further more reduced by the first gear on the second shaft. When it connected to the 2 n 3rd gear it increases. When the first shaft is connected to the second gear on the first shaft input rpm increases a bit as output gear is smaller. Again it experiences the highest resistance when it connected to the 1 gear on the second shaft n goes faster as we go to the 2 n 3 rd gear when we reach the 3rd gear on the first shaft we again connect it to all 3 gears on the second shaft. So the combination is 1.(low input rpm) 2.(mid input rpm) 3(high input rpm) 123. 123. 123. (These adjust resistance to the gears on the first shaft).
Imagine a gearbox that is permanently in the highest gear always. It is then assisted with 3 electrical motors for the low rpm. Not a hybrid system when it only goes with electric OR combustion. Both are working together.
@@EbmasTR he said it already, but also remember there is a torque converter, so revs can be adjusted even with the direct drive layout. The final drive through the differential is geared long, like 7th gear, so theres no transmission, and there's an electric motor on the crankshaft and one on each rear wheel :)
Regera also have torque converter, which can be utilized as a makeshift CVT. Not very efficient, but still provide extra torque at low speed when the engine revs higher than the output shaft. At higher speed, the torque converter locked-up and create a direct drive system. Combined with electric drive, it can go faster and more efficient, but CvK also said that even if the electric motors were turned off, it can still accelerate from 0-60mph in 4 seconds. th-cam.com/video/glf_k4qGBAA/w-d-xo.html
It's also worth mentioning that the engine is capable ~1500 N/m of torque (1100 ft/lb), Other supercar transmissions generally can't take that much and weigh more.
Koenigsegg : We got rid of the gearbox itself! Later, Koenigsegg : Hold my own in house made reinvented beer, we completely reinvented the gearbox too! Unreal. He combined the compounding from the bicycle, the wet clutch gear engagement from the TC auto, the multi clutch action from the DCT and the ability to shift to any gear like a manual and then topped them all. And it's so simple.
I'd like to know this as well, as I can't reconcile the solid works general arrangement provided by Koenigsegg with this explanation explicitly, but it's certainly very, very close conceptually. It's very good work, nonetheless. I suspect Koenigsegg have carefully selected the elements visible to obscure their true size and location, making this explanation all the more impressive. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Very nice explanation, animation. Very clever design out of the box. Jyst wonder if part of the gains is lost in friction in the 3rd axle. Well, with 1,600 HP to start with ...
Assuming the transmission is well lubricated, the friction increase is negligible. Although it will probably eat through transmission fluid more quickly
@@456MrPeople I am not sure what you mean with "well lubcricated", but there is one more gear interface that transmits torque, so this type of transmission friction loss will be roughly 50 % higher. But yes, especially driven at lower loads, the increase will be small and negligible compared to the churning losses.
This is a similar concept to honda automatics. Only without a torque converter and more gears and a lot higher torque capacity. I hope it works like they want because it will be awesome.
The video was pretty good, better than expected, however this isn't what exactly is happening but rather an overview.The gearbox is still in testing phase as per CVK.Also the pneumatic( not sure) solenoids are used for shifting between the gears which is electronically controlled via the ecu(most probably an transmission specific computing unit taking inputs of engine rpm)to shift faster.This is the only way the car could jump in between gears as CVK says in cruising conditions.Please upload the detailed version of the video as soon as the information is available.Will look forward to it!.
I dont think that's true, F1 gearboxes definitely use a separate clutch assembly, I've seen those components free from the car in the hands of some presenters. So in that way it's a 'traditional' gearbox. And they also don't use a double clutch gearbox.
Echo same thoughts. Similar to Formula One gear box but they replaced the dog teeth clutch with plate clutch probably to smoothen the engagement and extend life of the gearbox.
@@stefancroes yes. Multi packs of clutches. 3 packs would give you about 15 speeds or more. And also a conventional clutch for hard starts. Look up tractor powershift gearboxes.
Didn't expect much from this video however it turned out to be a good and intuitive explanation. Thanks

The cartridge valves look like high pressure parts, and will struggle with precise control for smooth launch/shifting, plus the anticipated 20-30ms shift time might be interesting with a typical valve of that type having a 15ms+ E-H delay, even without any 'security' valves or forced low line pressure to prevent unwanted (high A-SIL) torque at the wheels in case of a single point hydraulic failure. All that being said, lovely to see Koenigsegg trying new things, and I really hope that they solve the issues - we must keep moving forwards!
Great explanation, thank you
great explanation...very glad i watched this. 🇵🇸❤️✊🏼
To put it in simple words.
When input is recieved on the frst shaft it can be transferred to 3 gears on the second shaft. When it is transferred to the first gear on that shaft. Rpm decreases for the second shaft and is further more reduced by the first gear on the second shaft. When it connected to the 2 n 3rd gear it increases. When the first shaft is connected to the second gear on the first shaft input rpm increases a bit as output gear is smaller. Again it experiences the highest resistance when it connected to the 1 gear on the second shaft n goes faster as we go to the 2 n 3 rd gear when we reach the 3rd gear on the first shaft we again connect it to all 3 gears on the second shaft.
So the combination is
1.(low input rpm) 2.(mid input rpm) 3(high input rpm)
123. 123. 123. (These adjust resistance to the gears on the first shaft).
Will every manual transmission be like this one day? I think so, its genius
It’s not a manual though it’s auto
crazy clear explanation
They sure are smoking the good stuff at Angelholm
Could you make one explaining the regera. That would be great.
I have watched tonnes of videos about Regera's one-speed system, but couldn't understand even a bit. LoL :) That would be useful for me, too :)
Imagine a gearbox that is permanently in the highest gear always.
It is then assisted with 3 electrical motors for the low rpm.
Not a hybrid system when it only goes with electric OR combustion. Both are working together.
Thank you soooo much. You doubled my horizon. My life is complete now :) Jokes aside; thank you, indeed!
@@EbmasTR he said it already, but also remember there is a torque converter, so revs can be adjusted even with the direct drive layout. The final drive through the differential is geared long, like 7th gear, so theres no transmission, and there's an electric motor on the crankshaft and one on each rear wheel :)
Regera also have torque converter, which can be utilized as a makeshift CVT. Not very efficient, but still provide extra torque at low speed when the engine revs higher than the output shaft. At higher speed, the torque converter locked-up and create a direct drive system. Combined with electric drive, it can go faster and more efficient, but CvK also said that even if the electric motors were turned off, it can still accelerate from 0-60mph in 4 seconds.

Subscribed. Thanks for your efforts!
Great video ❤️
It's also worth mentioning that the engine is capable ~1500 N/m of torque (1100 ft/lb), Other supercar transmissions generally can't take that much and weigh more.
@BugattiMan© if you had read "generally", it would have spared you from writing your message.
I am so happy that I understood how it works
Koenigsegg : We got rid of the gearbox itself!
Later, Koenigsegg : Hold my own in house made reinvented beer, we completely reinvented the gearbox too!
Unreal. He combined the compounding from the bicycle, the wet clutch gear engagement from the TC auto, the multi clutch action from the DCT and the ability to shift to any gear like a manual and then topped them all. And it's so simple.
Great one!! But how did you got the details in such short time of launch?
I'd like to know this as well, as I can't reconcile the solid works general arrangement provided by Koenigsegg with this explanation explicitly, but it's certainly very, very close conceptually. It's very good work, nonetheless.
I suspect Koenigsegg have carefully selected the elements visible to obscure their true size and location, making this explanation all the more impressive.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
I highly suspect that it's not exactly like this, but that the concept is identical. An impressive analysis
@@benjaminmcintosh857 This information is readily available on the internet, Koenigsegg is very open about their innovations.
I'd like to know too. Regardless, excellent video!
He likely figured it out by himself, just using the information given.
Very interesting. Thanks for the clear explanation.
very easy to follow flow of power described.
Great video, such innovative design but at the same time is so obvious
Very nice explanation, animation. Very clever design out of the box. Jyst wonder if part of the gains is lost in friction in the 3rd axle. Well, with 1,600 HP to start with ...
Sure, the torque dependent friction losses will increase with each additional gear contact.
Assuming the transmission is well lubricated, the friction increase is negligible. Although it will probably eat through transmission fluid more quickly
@@456MrPeople I am not sure what you mean with "well lubcricated", but there is one more gear interface that transmits torque, so this type of transmission friction loss will be roughly 50 % higher. But yes, especially driven at lower loads, the increase will be small and negligible compared to the churning losses.
This is a similar concept to honda automatics. Only without a torque converter and more gears and a lot higher torque capacity. I hope it works like they want because it will be awesome.
? Honda autos are CVT's now that's not the same at all
@@TheMrANONYMOOSE WAT? The new ones maybe. I have been rebuilding them for 15 years. You sir are wrong.
@@V12Buickguy my b I assumed you were talking about the new ones, yeah they're cvt now
Great video, congratulations!!
thanks , very clearly explained , liked and subbed .
The video was pretty good, better than expected, however this isn't what exactly is happening but rather an overview.The gearbox is still in testing phase as per CVK.Also the pneumatic( not sure) solenoids are used for shifting between the gears which is electronically controlled via the ecu(most probably an transmission specific computing unit taking inputs of engine rpm)to shift faster.This is the only way the car could jump in between gears as CVK says in cruising conditions.Please upload the detailed version of the video as soon as the information is available.Will look forward to it!.
Absolutely fascinating what an idea and piece of machinery slash art
Well done! I needed this.
This is brilliant 🤯
Pretty similar to an f1 gear box but whit Koenigsegg's touch 😍👑
I dont think that's true, F1 gearboxes definitely use a separate clutch assembly, I've seen those components free from the car in the hands of some presenters. So in that way it's a 'traditional' gearbox. And they also don't use a double clutch gearbox.
You are right brother it's totally different, but from the look and how the gears do engage it's a little bit similar to an f1. :)
@@seoo6577 you can be right about that, something smart has to go on in those gearboxes
Echo same thoughts. Similar to Formula One gear box but they replaced the dog teeth clutch with plate clutch probably to smoothen the engagement and extend life of the gearbox.
@@Dirkietje8 👑👑
Wow its like a mountain bike gear.Friction and speed.
I wonder how such small clutch packs handle slip during starts or worse hill starts.... Maybe 1st gear only has a large clutch pack
Thank you for the great design explanation!
Beautiful engineering
Dude you are awesome !
Now this is called innovative technology, but it was used in heavy machinery applications for years.
also using 7 clutches and being able to go from any gear to any other gear directly?
@@stefancroes yes. Multi packs of clutches. 3 packs would give you about 15 speeds or more. And also a conventional clutch for hard starts. Look up tractor powershift gearboxes.
Epic information 🔥🔥🔥
My guess is that the combination of the engine, transmission, and final rev limiter setting will allow 300 mph and perhaps 500 kph.
