The microprocessor controller on Eaton's semi-automatic mechanical transmission can process gear changes as smoothly, efficiently and swiftly as the very best driver.
It always selects the right gear.
It never selects a gear that could damage the engine. Rather, it makes it easier for the driver to keep the engine working in its optimum fuel range.
Once the truck's rolling, it doesn't even need a clutch.
But the SAMT Transmission is much more than fingertip controlled and ultra-efficient.
It optimises the efficiency of the complete truck driveline. Thus saving your entire business time and money.
The SAMT Transmission achieves this by making it easier for your drivers to keep in the green band. And by reducing the chances of human error in every aspect of operation.
Like all great ideas, the SAMT Transmission is essentially very simple.
It's based on the ultra-reliable Twin Splitter Transmission. So your drivers have twelve speeds to choose from, ideally spaced for today's high-powered engines. While you can still enjoy the benefits and the low operating costs of a mechanical transmission, proven in millions of operating miles.
Where the SAMT Transmission differs from the Twin Splitter is in its highly intelligent microprocessor control. Enabling the driver to make swift, clutchless changes at the flick of his fingers. And giving your fleet a transmission that increases its own working life by reducing the possibility of abuse. The beauty of the SAMT design is that ittakes none of the vital vehicle control away from the driver. While raising his standards of safety, fuel economy, and journeyspeed, up to that of the most skilful driver in a fleet.
Eaton believe that the SAMT Transmission is nothing short of revolutionary. As you'll learn from experience.

By changing the way a driver drives.
