Right after the first 7DCT400s rolled off the production line in 2022 November, the team at MPT Jiangxi (MPJ) reached another great milestone – on January 17th, the first DCT Eco C-Sample was successfully launched. The product was developed in China and led by the local Product Engineering team, rather than simply localizing the product, which once again demonstrated the engineering capability of the team in China. The product was developed for a global OEM and will be exported to South America and Europe. Serial production is planned to start by the end of 2023.

“2022 was a tough year for the global automotive market,” said Wang Yi, VP Corporate Development & Alliances, Managing Director Asia. “Despite facing challenges like COVID-19, the chip shortage, and the international political situation, we always put our customers first and continue to innovate, to provide the most professional, efficient, and safest products and services to our customers.”
