REDUCTION OF THE THERMAL STRESS OF STARTING SWITCH ELEMENTS IN AUTOMATIC GEARBOXES OR IN AUTOMATED MANUAL GEARBOXES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the thermal stress of starting switch elements in automatic gearboxes or automated manual gearboxes, comprising at least two switch elements situated in the power train. Within the framework of said method, at the moment of ignition, at least one other switch element is used along with a first switch element, in order to take on at least one part of the slip capacity.
