Is AT Manual or Automatic?
1 Answers
AT stands for automatic transmission, while MT stands for manual transmission. The differences between the two are as follows: 1. Automatic transmissions consume more fuel: Automatic transmission vehicles can automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have 6 gear positions. Cars equipped with automatic transmissions consume about 10% more fuel than those with manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions use planetary gear mechanisms for shifting. 2. Automatic transmissions are more convenient: They automatically shift gears based on changes in the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed, requiring the driver only to control the accelerator pedal to adjust speed. Manual transmissions, however, require the driver to manually change gears according to driving conditions to ensure the car operates in the appropriate gear.
