Endurant Automated Manual Transmission
The Endurant AMT can be had on a variety of LT trucks found within the International Used Truck Center inventory. Currently it’s the lightest and most efficient heavy-duty transmission on the market that is 1,850 lb-ft of peak torque– 105 pounds lighter than equivalent AMT and 207 pounds lighter than the Fuller Advantage® AMT. Other benefits include:
- Integrated engine & transmission communication
- Intuitive shift strategies for smooth performance
- Standard 8-bolt PTO mounting location
- Predictive shifting maximizes fuel economy along with driver comfort
- Integrated with GearLogic™ intelligent technology
- Oil drain intervals of 750,000 miles (50 percent longer than the Ultrashift Plus)
Eaton Transmission & the Benefits of GearLogic® Technology
While exact features may vary per model, Eaton transmissions include GearLogic® technology to increase performance and fuel economy. Some of these features include:
- Hill Start Aid- If the incline grade exceeds the pre-programed threshold, this feature ensures the foundation brakes hold the truck to avoid rolling back and allow for a controlled launch.
- Auto Neutral- Prevents unintended movement by shifting the transmission into neutral when the parking brake is engaged.
- Engine Overspeed Protection- Prevents overspeed in Drive, Manual, and Low by upshifting.
- Enhanced Engine Braking- Uses downshifting to boost brake pad life and slow your truck on long, steep descents.
- Load-Based Shifting- Picks the appropriate starting gear and continues to make gear changes based on vehicle weight, engine torque, throttle position, and grade.
- Urge to Move- Much like in a car, you can release the brake pedal to inch forward.
- Predictive Shifting- Look-ahead technology allows for shifting that improves fuel economy.
- Creep Mode- Allows you to move slowly for short distances.
- Neutral Coast- Disengages the driveline on short downhill distances to help save fuel.
- Smart Gear Selection- Makes the most efficient changes based on grade, vehicle weight, engine torque and throttle position, including skip shifting.
