BorgWarner just announced that it will be supplying Fiat Powertrain Technologies with its DualTronic Transmission Control System to be used in Fiat’s first dry dual-clutch transmission. The fuel-saving technology will be available on the Alfa Romeo MiTo late this year, and then its use will expand to include many Fiat, Lancia and Alfa mid-sized C and D segment models starting next year.

John Sanderson, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Transmission Systems, commented on the announcement in a company press release:

"This application expands BorgWarner’s DualTronic controls technology to a dry dual-clutch system for the first time. Leveraging the engineering expertise and product experience of our European team, BorgWarner offers the broadest range of dual-clutch transmission solutions in the industry today."
