Development History
In 1997, Maomao (Chongqing) Automotive Drive Systems Co., Ltd. was established in Chongqing’s Shapingba District, commencing research, development, and manufacturing of clutches.
In 1999, the company began establishing sales offices nationwide to develop the aftermarket clutch repair market.
In 2002, the clutch cover assembly, driven disc assembly, and flywheel assembly began to be supplied as original equipment.
In 2007, the company obtained TS 16949 international quality system certification, and its annual production and sales of clutches exceeded one million sets.
In 2010, a new factory for clutches and flywheels was commissioned, with annual production and sales exceeding 1.8 million sets.
In 2012, 3D software was fully implemented for product design and simulation analysis.
In 2013, we began developing capabilities in powertrain system matching design and in NVH analysis and testing for transmission systems.
In 2016, the dual-mass flywheel assembly (DMF) production line was completed and put into operation, with an annual capacity exceeding 200,000 sets.
In 2017, flexible flywheels compatible with AT and CVT transmissions entered mass production.
In 2018, the development of torque converter assemblies compatible with AT and CVT transmissions was completed and subjected to on‑vehicle road testing; research and development of both dry‑type and wet‑type dual‑clutch transmissions (DCT) was also finalized.
In 2019, torque limiters for hybrid and range-extended electric vehicles entered mass production.
In 2020, the production lines for new-energy motors and electric-control components were completed and put into operation.
In 2021, the automated production line for dual-mass flywheels was completed and put into operation, with DMF capacity exceeding 700,000 sets…
