The torque converter smoothly multiplies the engine’s torque and prevents interruptions in the tractive power during gearshifts. This means that fully automatic gearboxes accelerate faster than manual or automated gearboxes and exhibit outstanding moving off behaviour. The optionally integrated retarder assists in braking the vehicle with little wear on the brake system. This leads to better control and manoeuvrability in addition to optimised driving performance.
Without mechanical clutches there is less wear on all parts of the driveline. The fully automatic gearbox itself is subjected to very little wear. It requires no more than aregular oil and filter change.
For body functionalities, there are numerous optional PTOs with various transmission ratios in two installation locations available. Up to two PTOs can be operated simultaneously while the vehicle is stationary or in motion. The gearbox control unit regulates how and when the PTOs respond and monitors the operating conditions.
