A reliable transmission with few maintenance needs is key to optimize uptime.
Transmission lube change intervals and lube availability and clutch adjustment schedules can contribute to the amount of downtime for the vehicle.
If something does go wrong with the transmission, how serviceable is it? Some transmissions have aren’t designed to be serviceable and may require a full swing which means more downtime and impacts your bottom line.
Are the service locations limited for the specific transmission model? Tracking down a location can contribute to downtime, versus a broad network of service locations at your convenience.
Bulk haulers are especially conscious of every pound, switching to aluminum components is a good strategy, if cost and weight savings are calculated carefully.
When designed properly, you can reduce system weight while maintaining durability and reliability and serviceability – increasing fuel efficiency allowing higher freight efficiency
With the age of automation comes the development of smart features designed to improve performance, fuel-efficiency, safety, productivity to improve your bottom line and keep drivers happy. So every driver is like your best driver.
Features like predictive cruise and predictive shifting help the transmission perform seamlessly for the driver - using look-ahead technology to execute shift decisions that improve fuel economy and driver comfort.
Neutral coast is a fuel-saving feature that disengages the driveline on slight downhill grades. Automation makes this possible.
Levels of automation: 1 vehicle provides info/warnings – driver has informed control
2 vehicle integrates detection/response – driver ready to take control
3 vehicle is autonomous – driver takes control in emergency
4 vehicle is self-driving – occupants do not need ability to drive
Examples include auto docking, etc.
You want an advanced transmission capable of integrating with these features as they become available.
What does connectivity mean? The vehicle has a telematics module so that data can be transferred, stored and analyzed.
Efficient route planning through telematics use can also help reduce unproductive time that a driver spends on the road.
Reducing average miles per stop can save $100s per month per vehicle.
Ensures proper vehicle maintenance, reduces driver and vehicle downtime, and enhances productivity through technology and telematics
Toll program also serves as an opportunity for service fleets to ensure that all vehicles optimize their travel time on toll roads by using the electronic toll lanes instead of the cash lanes.
“Through connected truck technology, fleet operators will be able to optimize factors such as fuel, maintenance, and driver wages, which together contribute more than 60 percent of the total cost of ownership,” noted Bielski. “In the GCC alone, parts costs (including lubricants and tires) of a heavy commercial vehicle can exceed $3,000 per year. Usage of predictive maintenance can reduce this by nearly 20 percent. Combined with the potential to reduce traffic and heavy vehicle related causalities, this will open up opportunities for local and foreign players in the region.” Frost & Sullivan
Downspeeding is common strategy for achieving increased fuel economy.
With downspeeding the rear gear ratio is sped up in order to lower the speed of the engine, bringing fuel efficiency improvements. Downspeeding allows the engine to operate at the most efficient rpm while generating the minimal horsepower required to maintain a 65 mph cruise speed.
Direct drive isn’t always more efficient – in the vast majority of north American duty cycles, OD provides the optimal performance of fuel economy
The all-new Endurant automated transmission has been intelligently engineered from the ground up with features that protect your investment and make it easy to maintain.
Endurant is the lightest heavy-duty transmission and includes breakthrough innovations such as a transmission fluid pressure sensor and clutch life prognostics. Designed specifically for today’s
linehaul trucks, it delivers industry-leading downspeeding and maintenance intervals, all while hauling up to 110,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight.
750,000 mile lube change interval – 450,000 miles longer than DT12 – reduces downtime and maintenance cost
16 pints of oil – about half of what DT12 requires
The maintenance-free 430mm self-adjust clutch requires no grease
Limp home mode to complete the mission and increase uptime
Replaceable input shaft wear sleeve allows for affordable and quick repair, compared to full tear-down in competitive AMTs
Industry-exclusive transmission fluid pressure sensor notifies driver of low oil to prevent gear burn-up and is backed by industry-exclusive burn-up warranty coverage
Smart prognostics provide clutch replacement notification so you can better plan downtime
Internal electrical system routing minimizes exposure and corrosion to wires and connectors for improved reliability
Vehicle oil-coalescing air filter protects transmission system from contamination
The lightest, most efficient 1850 ft.-lb. capable heavy-duty transmission system on the market – 105 lbs. lighter than comparable AMTs and 207 lbs. less than Fuller Advantage® automated
Integrated communication between the engine and transmission improves efficiency and performance
Smooth and intuitive shift strategies for an enhanced driver experience
Predictive shifting uses look-ahead technology to execute shift decisions that improve fuel economy and driver comfort
Integrated with GearLogic™ intelligent technology features that improve performance, fuel efficiency and driver confidence
Endurant is telematics capable with IntelliConnect™ which enables information sharing between the transmission, Eaton, and the fleet for increased uptime
Optimized weight, dimensions, features for the lightest heavy-duty automated transmission capable of 1,850 lb.-ft. torque. Integrated communication allows GearLogic™ features to improve efficiency and performance.
Built to last with newly developed smart features like a transmission fluid pressure sensor, and maintenance-free clutch with prognostics.
Increase productivity between maintenance intervals with an industry-leading oil life of 750,000 miles, while using half as much lubricant as competitors. IntelliConnect™ remote diagnostics reduces unplanned downtime and gets you back on the road faster.
