VW 7 Speed DSG

DSG – the intelligent automatic gearbox from Volkswagen World’s first 7-speed DSG for high-volume production

Before production start the new DSG covered two million test kilometers

DSGs are built at the VW Transmission Plant in Kassel. The light 70 kilogram 7-speed DSG is built with about 400 parts. While the many DSGs had to prove their qualities on stationary test benches for far more than 60,000 hours of durability testing, developers sent the other DSG prototypes aboard Golf and Co. to run test trial routes in the real world. They covered about two million kilometers in testing proving efficiency and reliability.
