Eaton has published two new brochures that outline the features and benefits of the company’s UltraShift Plus heavy-duty automated transmissions. Printed copies or downloadable versions of the 22-page publications are available free of charge here. www.roadranger.com

One brochure (TRSL2505) covers linehaul applications, providing an overview of the Linehaul Active Shifting (LAS), Multipurpose High Performance (MHP) and Multipurpose Extreme Performance (MXP) automated transmissions. Information is provided on drivetrain integration, gear selection logic and low-speed maneuverability. Important fuel economy, safety and life cycle costs are also presented in the new brochure. 

The vocational applications brochure (TRSL2506) details the Vocational Construction Series (VCS), Vocational Multipurpose Series (VMS) and Vocational Extreme Performance (VXP) transmissions. It includes information on the claimed cost and performance advantages of an automated transmission versus a torque converter automatic transmission.

The new family of fully automated UltraShift Plus transmissions feature much improved automated clutch technology and intelligent shift selection software that employs grade sensing, weight computation, and driver throttle commands to make intelligent shift decisions.
