What does AMT mean in cars?
1 Answers
The full name of AMT in cars is Automated Manual Transmission, also known as Sequential Transmission. It is an improved version based on traditional manual gear transmissions, combining the advantages of both AT and MT into an integrated electro-hydraulic automatic transmission. Specifically, it uses a manual transmission as the base and automates the operation of components originally controlled by human force, such as clutch disengagement and gear shift forks. The working principle of AMT is: determining the optimal gear, controlling the clutch disengagement and engagement, the gear lever's shifting, and the synchronous adjustment of the engine throttle opening, which were originally done manually by the driver, ultimately achieving automated control of the shifting process.
