Programming Key to UltraShift Plus Performance

摘要

Over the years, engineers at Eaton have been refining their automated mechanical transmissions (AMTs). In that time, I've driven and judged them from a driver's perspective, and praised and criticized them in my writings. This goes back to about 1990, when the company field-tested its CEEMAT hydraulically controlled gearbox that didn't quite work out. It took electronic controls-microcomputers, really-to bring the potential for preciseness and smoothness to the concept.
