Professor Liu Jingang Wins First Prize of Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award

Professor Liu Jingang was awarded the project of “Intelligent Prediction Control Technology of Starting Clutch” in 2009, which was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). He has been engaged in the research on the reliability of clutches with his team for 8 years. After gradually breaking through three major technical difficulties of compensation control, structural improvement, and assembly self-inspection, the project team has been granted 11 authorized invention patents, registered six software copyrights, and published 32 academic papers. The relevant achievements were applied to CVT (continuously variable transmission) of Hunan Jianglu&Rundar Vehicle Transmission and 6AT of Hunan Jisheng International Power Transmission System Co., Ltd. at the end of 2014. By the end of 2017, over 400,000 sets of automatic transmissions were produced and sold, and the sales revenue exceeded 3.2 billion CNY.
