TRANSAXLE-AMT

30

INTRODUCTION:

The Future demands reduction in fuel

consumption, emissions, weight and installation

space along with enhanced comfort, safety and

improvements in driving conditions. AMT

Mechanism (also referred as clutch-less driving)

provides you more comfort and fuel efficiency - an

affordable option over conventional automatic

transmission technology. AMT gives the pleasure

of driving an automatic car by providing the

freedom from operating the clutch lever, an ideal

solution for stop and go traffic conditions. AMT

reduces fuel consumption thus increases fuel

economy with better mileage. Lower consumption

results to lower emissions with increased life of

clutch components.

Auto Gear Shift Mechanism:

In automated

manual transmissions, electromechanical or

hydraulic actuators take over the clutch and shift

actions. Individual driving pleasure is not

diminished because drivers can decide whether

they want to use the automatic mode or shift

manually. With their optimized shift strategies,

automated manual transmissions reduce torque

interruption to a minimum. Sensors register and

convey all the relevant information to the control

system. Using this data, the system calculates the

shift points and controls the shift and clutch

processes automatically.
