What does AMT mean on a car?

[Josiah]

AMT on a car refers to the Automated Manual Transmission, which is an improved version based on the traditional manual gearbox. It is essentially a dry clutch and gear transmission system equipped with a microcomputer-controlled automatic shifting system. The AMT retains the basic structure of the original mechanical transmission, offering advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact structure, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient control. The automatic transmission can determine the optimal gear based on parameters like vehicle speed, throttle position, and driver commands. It controls operations that were previously performed manually by the driver, such as clutch engagement and disengagement, gear shifting via the gear lever, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening. Ultimately, it achieves automation in the gear shifting process.
