What does AMT mean?
1 Answers
AMT stands for Automated Manual Transmission, which is an electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission that automates gear shifting by controlling the traditional dry clutch and manual transmission. Its working principle involves simulating the driver's operations to achieve gear shifting. AMT combines the advantages of hydraulic automatic transmissions, such as automatic shifting, while retaining the high efficiency, simple structure, and ease of manufacturing of the original manual transmission's gear-driven system. The transmission control unit effectively manages throttle opening, clutch system, and gear shift operation system based on outputs generated by shift patterns, clutch control patterns, and engine throttle adaptive adjustment patterns, achieving optimal coordination for gear shifting.
