spotlight REPORT 20.15BS4 HD Bus Pro 3016 AMT Eicher trucks & buses introduces AMT technology in commercial vehicles Eicher Trucks and Buses part of VE Commercial Vehicles Limited recently introduced state-of-the-art AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) technology in commercial vehicles. This reinforces our vision of driving modernization in commercial transportation. This breakthrough technology has been adapted based on the OptiDrive™ technology designed and developed by WABCO, renowned for its services in Driveline Automation. The AMT technology will be available commercial vehicles, which automatically development, Vinod Aggarwal, MD & in the complete range of LMD and HD shifs gears and operates clutch actuation CEO, VE Commercial Vehicles said, “It’s a buses (from 9T to 16T) and Medium at optimal speed. matter of extreme pride for Duty haulage truck application in the frst Tis technology frees drivers from frequent us to be one of the pioneers phaseand the same will be extended to other gear-shifting, reducing their stress and in introducing a break- applications later on. fatigue.
