The 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) 0BT is
being used in the T5 2010 for the first time in the
Volkswagen Group. From March 2010, it will be
possible to combine the DSG with four-wheel drive in
the T5 2010. It can also be used in heavy vehicles with
a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 3.2 t. The 0BT
gearbox is designed for input torques of up to
600 Nm.
The 7-speed DSG will initially only be used
in 103 kW and 132 kW TDI engines. In terms of its
mechanical and control systems, it represents a
significant further development on the previously
familiar dual clutch gearbox.
The 0BT gearbox has been developed entirely within
Volkswagen, and is also produced within the
company, to very high manufacturing standards.
All-in-all, it represents a milestone in the gearbox strategy of the Volkswagen Group, which means it contributes to
a further expansion in the technological lead enjoyed by Volkswagen.

gearbox and its selector mechanism,

Tachograph
In vehicles with a tachograph, it is a requirement to have a separate speed signal for recording the vehicle's speed
on the tachograph. The vehicle speed for the tachograph continues to be taken directly from the gearbox. It is now
possible to retrofit a speedometer sender on all gearboxes. There are two different gearbox-specific speedometer
senders for the T5.
