What does AT transmission mean?
2 Answers
AT transmission refers to the hydraulic automatic transmission in a car. Here are the specific details about AT transmission: 1. Structure: AT transmission is an automatic transmission. Some AT transmissions have a manual mode, while others do not. Tiptronic refers to a certain type of automatic transmission with manual shifting, which describes a structural form of the transmission. 2. Working principle: AT transmission is a relatively common automatic transmission with many planetary gears inside, relying on planetary gears for speed and torque variation. The AT transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter. This type of transmission offers smooth shifting and high reliability and durability.
I've been driving automatic transmission cars for almost ten years. AT stands for automatic transmission. The most noticeable feeling while driving is that the left foot is completely freed from pressing the clutch, and the right hand doesn't need to frequently shift gears. You see letters like PRND on the gear lever - P is for Park, R is for Reverse, N is equivalent to neutral in manual transmission, and D is for Drive. It's especially suitable for driving in city traffic jams, just stepping on the accelerator and brake alternately, unlike manual transmission which requires exhausting frequent gear changes. However, it consumes a bit more fuel than manual transmission and maintenance is slightly more expensive, but driving is indeed much more relaxed.
