What does AMT mean?
1 Answers
AMT is the abbreviation for an automatic transmission, with its full name being Automated Manual Transmission. There are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (abbreviated as AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (abbreviated as CVT), Automated Manual Transmission (abbreviated as AMT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Below is an introduction to AMT transmission: 1. The Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as vehicle speed, throttle, and driver commands. It controls operations that were originally performed manually by the driver, including clutch disengagement and engagement, gear shifting, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening, ultimately achieving automation in the gear-shifting process. 2. AMT retains the basic structure of the original mechanical transmission, offering advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact structure, low cost, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient operation. Particularly, its fuel-saving characteristic makes it suitable for application in large and medium-sized buses and trucks in China.
