Eaton UltraShiftPlus automated transmission

Jan 25, 2012

Updated Aug 14, 2012

The Eaton UltraShiftPlus automated transmission uses an Electronic Clutch Actuator made for faster shifting, smoother engagement and improved maneuverability, the company says. Its Hill Start Aid prevents roll-back on steep grades, and maximum engine braking helps stopping-ability without a retarder. The transmission is available in six models and can be used for on-highway and vocational applications.
