Getrag has developed a range of DCT[23] transaxles, including 7DCL750, a seven-speed transaxle for mid-engine longitudinal applications, capable of taking more than 750 N·m (553 lbf·ft).[24] Getrag will be providing its DCT in its first commercial applications, for the Dodge Journey and Volvo S40 and V50, from mid-2008.[25] Getrag has developed the 6DCT250 dry clutch DCT for use in front wheel drive transverse applications. With use of electro-mechanical actuation, rather than electro-hydraulic, the 6DCT250 transmission surpasses the conventional manual transmission in fuel consumption and CO2 emission.[26]

In the 2nd quarter of 2008, Getrag had signed an agreement with Chrysler to supply its PowerShift DCTs for use in American markets.[5] However, due to the global economic downturn, this was subsequently cancelled.[5][27][28]

In 2006 Getrag was also working with Bosch to develop a DCT for use in hybrid vehicles.[5][29]

Getrag dual-clutch transmissions are used in the BMW M3,[30] BMW 335is, BMW Z4 Sdrive35i,[31] Ferrari California,[32] Ferrari 458 Italia,[33]LaFerrari, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG,[34] Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, Renault Megane, Renault Scenic, Volvo V40, Volvo V60 and Volvo V70 vehicles.
