Are There Automatic Transmission Models for Heavy Trucks?
1 Answers
There are automatic transmission models for heavy trucks, with AMT transmissions being the most common, and a few using dual-clutch transmissions. Generally, automatic transmissions are more convenient and faster than manual transmissions, and they also offer better fuel efficiency. Although AMT transmissions are not yet widely used in trucks, major manufacturers have begun to experiment with them. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Distribution of Automatic Transmission Trucks: In developed countries abroad, automatic transmission buses and trucks are quite common. According to relevant data, the proportion of automatic transmission buses and trucks in developed countries can be as high as 60%. However, China, as a developing country with a less developed economy, has not yet seen widespread adoption of automatic transmission buses and trucks domestically. 2. Reasons for the Lack of Popularity of Automatic Transmission Trucks: The main reason for the lack of widespread adoption of automatic transmission buses and trucks in China is the high cost. Besides the higher price of automatic transmission vehicles themselves, another factor is their higher fuel consumption. In China, buses and trucks are primarily used for commercial operations, where profit margins are a critical concern.
