Worlds first powder metal 6-speed manual transmission

On June 21-22, the Powder Metal Gearbox Initiative (PMGI) will present its
cutting-edge transmission project at the prestigious automotive
congress Drivetrain for Vehicles in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
On display is a vehicle demonstrating the world's first 6-speed manual
transmission with powder metallurgy gear technology. Please join us at
stand Z 27 to talk advanced materials and manufacturing technology and
how it can drive your business.
The project is initiated and managed by Hgans in cooperation with other
leading powder metal industry partners and technology providers.
The overall objective of the partnership has been very clear: to prove the
concept, potential benefits and implementation readiness of powder metal
gears in modern automotive transmissions.
