From Roumen Antonov's ingenious idea for a better automatic transmission grew Antonov Automotive Technologies -- and its parent company, Antonov plc. The inventor founded the company bearing his name in 1991 to commercialize the Antonov Automatic Drive (AAD), a technology that the company touts as simplifying and improving older automatic transmission designs. The AAD eliminates the need for a high-pressure hydraulic system, thereby allowing the transmission to be more compact, cheaper, and more efficient. Other Antonov technologies include its mechanical module and six-speed transmission. The company has operations in China, France, the Netherlands, and the UK; it markets its transmissions throughout the world.
