The truth about transmissions…

Truck transmissions come in many forms but which one is best for you? Our resident tech specialist, David Meredith, sorts fact from fiction…

Auto or automated manual, synchro or non-synchro? Modern truck transmissions come in many flavours, but some are better than others for certain tasks – off-road applications, for example – and each has their pros and cons.

Choosing which particular style of transmission is right for your requirements isn't exactly clear cut, which is why trucksales.com.au's technical expert, David Meredith, has done the legwork for you and compiled a concise overview of the current truck transmission landscape.

David places each of the main styles under the microscope and examines their respective strengths and weaknesses. He takes a sneak peek at what's around the corner too, and the ways in which transmission and truck manufacturers are working to make the next generation of trucks even more capable and easier to drive.

Whether you're an Eaton Roadranger die-hard or you can't wait to get to grips with Volvo's new I-Shift Dual Clutch, this feature will bring you bang up to date on today's truck transmission options, and how each may assist you in tackling the road freight task.
