III. AMT KIT:

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.

Easy Shift (Automated Manual) Transmission

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.
