The technology competitions of automobile manufacturers are getting hot. The characteristics of the environment friendly automobile are not only lowering the emission of harmful exhaust gas through the change of the power source, but also paying great attention to improvement of the power efficiency. As the market for pure electric vehicles continues to grow, we have analyzed the global technology competitiveness by DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) patents. Clustering can be classified into five types ; 1) a cluster associated with a dual clutch transmission system, 2) a cluster of a torque transmission device and a reverse speed ratio, 3) a cluster of co-planar sets and dual clutch assemblies related to transmitting devices, 4) Device clusters, and 5) a cluster of synchronizers and clusters to prevent simultaneous operation of dual clutch transmissions. In recent years, demand for pure electric vehicles has been rapidly increasing, and patent applications related to DCT have been steadily increasing for energy efficiency of motor power sources.
