WHAT IS AN AMT?
Technically speaking, an AMT is a ‘tweaked’ manual transmission, which has done away with the need to engage a clutch pedal at the same time as shifting gears.
To be clear, an AMT equipped truck is operated with two pedals only – a brake and an accelerator pedal – as opposed to the three pedal operation of a truck specified with a manual transmission.
The YouTube video offers an introduction to AMTs and how to use them correctly.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Instead of the driver physically engaging the clutch to change gears, this action is controlled by electronic computers and hydraulics.
This system automatically operates the clutch and throttle to match revs and engage the clutch for the gear change that’s required.
How is an AMT different to a ‘full’ automatic transmission?
There are some superficial similarities between an AMT and a full automatic transmission when it comes to the way in which the vehicle is operated.
Many AMTs operate in a ‘fully automatic’ mode where the driver does not need to change gears at all – same as an automatic.
Although, the major point of difference is that some AMTs can be operated in ‘manual mode’ too, where drivers are able to shift up and down without the need for a clutch pedal.
Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is the perfect balance between a manual and an automatic transmission.
Like an automatic, the AMT involves a straightforward two-pedal setup. With the AMT, you’re able to choose between automated or manual mode.
Very simply put, in manual mode the system engages the clutch for you as you change gears, dispensing of the need to perfectly time the clutch with a gear change.
In automated mode, the vehicle acts like any other automatic vehicle, allowing the vehicle to change gears on its own.
AMT encapsulates the ease of automatic with the durability and control of manual. Here are some benefits:
- Control
If anything, AMT gifts even more control to the driver than a manual does. You have the choice of either cruising along on automated mode, or take back control by switching to manual.
- Best of both worlds
With the benefits of both manual and automatic transmissions, AMT can pretty much do everything a manual or auto can do. So what you get is power, efficiency and ease—all in a two-pedal model.
Decisions, decisions
At the end of the day, the transmission you choose should make your life easier and suit the demands of your operations.
Another thing to think about is the ongoing truck driver shortage, which could be alleviated with the use of a two-pedal truck.
As the freight task grows, business owners are finding autos and AMTs a good way to both widen the employment pool and work around manual-related issues.
