Drivers who have driven trucks should all know what AMT is. It is the gearbox above the car. The technology of AMT in Europe is very mature and it is very widely used. Almost all trucks are equipped with AMT gearbox. Although AMT is available at Liberation, CNHTC and Fast, the annual sales volume is very low and the market share is less than 1%. The AMT gearbox is an electro-hydraulic integrated automatic transmission that combines the advantages of both the AT and the MT. It can provide a lot of convenience to the driver of the truck. Why is it difficult to popularize it in China?
First, low reliability
Compared with Europe, domestically produced AMT has a certain gap, and the reliability gap is mainly reflected in the actuator and some valves. Since the domestic AMT sales price is even less than half of AMT in Europe, it has led to a decline in the manufacturing costs of domestic AMT, and the quality of parts after the cost reduction has certainly not been so good.
Second, poor shift logic experience
The gap in technology is mainly reflected in the gear shift logic. Domestic AMT has made great progress after years of development, but there is still a gap compared to European AMT. The AMT smoothness of the European truck partner, shift logic to the driver's experience is very good, while the domestic AMT always gives people a slow half-beat feeling, can not be a good understanding of the driver's driving intentions.
Third, the price is more expensive than manual
The same configuration of the car if equipped with AMT gearbox will be more than 10,000 more expensive than manual gearbox, coupled with the domestic AMT technology is not yet particularly mature, so more drivers are still willing to choose to buy manual truck. Although for a tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of trucks, more than 10,000 are nothing, but the performance of domestic AMT did not meet their expectations, this more than 10,000 yuan they think it is not worth it.
Fourth, the user reputation difference
A good product not only has its own strength, but also must be recognized by the user. Only in the actual use process, the products that users approve will have better sales. However, after AMT appeared in the early stages of its listing, there were various problems. As AMT caused many cases of vehicle outages, many people changed AMT to manual gearboxes. Therefore, the bad reputation of AMT is also spreading among truck drivers. Many drivers have responded that AMT gearbox is not easy to use and not durable.
Editor's Note: As AMT is also very difficult to find after the sale in the country, although there are three companies to produce this product, but no company covers the after-sale system nationwide, which is why many drivers dare not buy. No matter how good the quality of the product is, there will be a day when the problem arises, and consider how frustrating it is to find a post-sale service.
