Endurant 12-speed automated manual transmission (AMT)
The Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies Endurant 12-speed automated manual transmission (AMT), is designed for linehaul applications where weight savings and efficiency can add to a fleet’s bottom line. Providing 1,850 lbs-ft of torque, the Endurant weighs up to 105 pounds less than competitive AMTS, according to the company. Highlighted features of the Endurant include internal electrical system routing that minimizes exposure and corrosion to wires and connectors for improved reliability; a new smart prognostics feature provides clutch replacement notification to better plan maintenance scheduling; an industry-exclusive transmission fluid pressure sensor to notify drivers of low oil levels to provide burn-up warranty coverage; and predictive shifting using look-ahead technology to execute shift decisions that improve fuel efficiency and provide additional driver comfort. Endurant is available with IntelliConnect, a telematics capable system that provides near real-time monitoring of vehicle fault codes, prioritizes the critical events and provides accurate and comprehensive action plans by technical experts at Eaton. Endurant is the first automated heavy-duty transmission to be introduced as part of the newly formed joint venture between Eaton and Cummins.
