8. Automated Clutch
7
Clutch couplingClutch decoupling
 This clutch control device for flexible driving of commercial vehicles enables more fuel reduction
 This automatic control device for clutch pedaling while driving enhances operational
convenience Functionality for fuel reduction and improved driver convenience(automatic
implementation of half clutch)
 It can be used together with the previous clutch device(for safety)
The driving unit that is connected to the stepping motor
moves at a certain speed, just like a half clutch
The clutch is activated when the air cylinder is pushed
by the air that comes in when the valve is opened

Pros
The control range is large to enable
application to all vehicles
Focus is placed on flexible driving of
trucks
An automatic start function
was assigned
Clutch precision position
control is enabled
Cons Excessive installation time is needed
Lack of clutch precision position
control
-
There was a need to develop a controller that would enable precision position
control to allow start function-centered clutch operation control, which is
required for work vehicles, etc.
Developed a controller that allows the collection of vehicle information based on CAN
communication and step motor drive control that enables precision position control

10. Electronic controller & CAN communication
Development of a fuel reduction device
(automated clutch)
9
 The clutch is controlled using an electronic control system, resulting in
enhanced driver convenience and fuel reduction
 This product is an improvement to the robot clutch. Use of CAN
communication reduces and simplifies the great number of sensors and
processes that were previously used. This leads to reduced installation time
 System is optimized to simplify installation and to improve fuel efficiency
 It is used in parallel with the previous clutch to ensure safety in case of a
problem

Fuel efficiency is improved as
a result of flexible driving based
on clutch control
The automated clutch is an eco-driving device that is based on such
flexible driving. It can lead to fuel reduction effects of around 10 to
25%.
More operational convenience
for drivers
The gear can be shifted by an on/off switch that is attached to the gear
knob, without having to use the clutch pedal. The vehicle’s power
transmission is conveniently cut off/accessed to allow flexible driving.
Fail-safe function
The previous clutch device of the clutch pedal can be used together.
Also, the product can be attached without changing the vehicle structure.

12. Background of commercialization
11
 In the US and Europe, even small commercial vehicles are included in the scope of greenhouse gas
and fuel efficiency management. In 2016, Korea will include 3.5-ton or less trucks to the scope of
management
 Commercial vehicles emit 78% of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and 72% of particulate matter (PM10) from
among mobile emissions on roads (2012 assessment, Ministry of Environment)

13. Background of commercialization
12
02 Demand for commercialization with China’s carbon credits
 China’s commercial vehicle market is rapidly growing at an annual average of 10.6%
 China’s carbon emissions trading scheme is resulting in higher interest in fuel reduction
 Demand for commercialization through a joint venture in China
(10 thousand, As of Year 2013)
The sum of the market size of countries in
second through tenth place is similar to the
size of the market of China
Market with less than 100 thousand

14. Reduction effects
for customers
<화물차유가보조금(2012년)>
For a 25-ton vehicle (Fuel efficiency: 2.5km/L)
 Average fuel cost of KRW 6 million/month x 10 to 25% reduction
= KRW 600 thousand – KRW 1.5 million/month
 KRW 600 thousand-KRW 1.5 millionx12 months
= KRW 7.2 million-KRW 18 million/year reduction effects
(The device investment cost is recovered in around four months)
Category As of December 2013
Truck 3,285,707
Bus 96,362
Special vehicle 65,998
Total 3,448,067
 Ten branches in different metropolitan areas x Five installation
locations = Around 50 installation locations
 Domestic truck market : 1 million x 2% = 20 thousand/year x KRW 2.5
million = KRW 50 billion
Automated clutch installation cost : KRW 2.5 million / vehicle
