Renault Twingo receives the Efficient Dual Clutch treatment
09 Nov 2015|2,285 views
Renault has introduced its Efficient Dual Clutch transmission, known as EDC, on its ingenious urban runaround Twingo. The multiple award-winning city car gains the innovative automatic gearbox for the popular TCe90 engine just over a year after launch.
EDC is an automatic dual dry clutch transmission dispensing with the need for a clutch pedal. Gearshift control is of the 'P-R-N-D' type, plus an 'up/down' shift mode. The ideal gear is selected by an electronic control unit and gearshifts are both automatic and comfortable.
The introduction of the EDC transmission offers the driver and passengers a smooth journey thanks to an ultrafast shift time of 290ms. The transmission's 'creep' control also helps the driver in slow traffic, pulling away gradually when the brake pedal is released. The EDC transmission also offers Hill Start Assist as standard.
The Twingo EDC's 0.9-litre 90bhp turbo engine is also available with Renault's ECO mode, cutting fuel consumption by up to 10 percent. Actionable by the driver, the mode modifies the management of the gearbox Electronic Control Unit (ECU), enabling gear shifts at lower rpm.
