Unlike their manual counterpart, automatic gearboxes employ a wide variety of technical solutions, a possible demonstration that this kind of gearbox has yet to attain his technical maturity.

    Automatic gearboxes were created for comfortable family cars with high displacement engines. They are now increasing their market share in small cars and sports cars, a market where customers expectations are more addressed to performance, economy and drivability than to comfort; in addition, a higher attention is devoted to emissions and energy conservation. Technical solutions to these problems have proliferated, with no final winner yet determined.
