\"Proton_Iriz_Review_<\/a><\/p>\n

Proton’s chief technical officer Abdul Rashid Musa has confirmed to paultan.org<\/em> that the national carmaker’s new torque converter CVT \u2013 to be matched to the company’s upcoming new direct-injected engines<\/a>, replacing the current start-up clutch units \u2013 will not be supplied by Punch Powertrains, but by another transmission maker.<\/p>\n

Rashid said that although the Belgian-based company is already developing its own torque converter CVT<\/a>, it won’t be ready in time to be mated to the new engines, so Proton had to look elsewhere. <\/p>\n

“We discussed with them, I told them to bring [the transmission’s development] forward from their schedule, but they said they couldn’t,” he said. “That’s why we need to go to somebody else. They have their own plans, I have to respect that, but unfortunately their timing is a bit different from ours.”<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, he commended Punch Powertrains for being a good partner over the years, and he says the company could revert to Punch transmissions once they are ready.<\/p>\n

Although Rashid declined to name the supplier of the new transmissions, rumours suggest that they may come from Jatco \u2013 the Nissan-owned CVT expert erected its own booth at the Alami Proton<\/em> open day<\/a>, so the signs are definitely pointing in that direction.<\/p>\n
