Automated Manual Transmission
An Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is a type of vehicle transmission that combines features of both manual and automatic systems. It uses a traditional manual gearbox but automates the clutch and gear-shifting processes. This allows drivers to enjoy the efficiency of a manual transmission without the need for constant gear changes.
AMTs are designed to improve fuel efficiency and provide a smoother driving experience. They are commonly found in various vehicles, including some models from Toyota and Ford. By using sensors and actuators, AMTs can shift gears automatically based on driving conditions, making them user-friendly for a wide range of drivers.
