The AGS is an automated manual transmission created to make driving easier and more efficient. Now, even the most inexperienced driver will be at ease and can drive safely and confidently. With the AGS there is a no clutch pedal, yet with the SmartShift lever drivers can choose to shift manually or let the transmission do it all.

The result is the ultimate in control and safety. The transmission control unit lets the AGS change gears at optimal times by sensing truck weight, uphill or downhill grades, curves and even slippery road conditions. The TCU precisely determines shift points for optimum performance and fuel economy. Also, no matter how hard you try, you can't make a gear selection that will damage the transmission.
