1 Answers
5-speed AMT refers to a 5-speed automated manual transmission, which is an improved version based on traditional manual transmissions. The 5-speed indicates five forward gears, while AMT stands for automated manual transmission. An automatic transmission is a device that can automatically shift gears based on engine speed. There are four common types of automatic transmissions: hydraulic automatic transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch automatic transmission. During vehicle operation, the driver controls the accelerator pedal according to driving needs, and the automatic transmission can automatically switch between different gears based on the engine's operating conditions.
