| | Effective power transmission largely depends on finding the right blend of engine power, gearbox ratios and rear axle ratio. The Atego comes with a choice of three different 6-speed gearboxes or a new 9-speed direct-drive gearbox (with eight forwards gears and one crawler gear). The latter's hydraulic/pneumatic gearshift ensures easy gear changes. Precise low-speed manoeuvring is also possible thanks to the low crawler and reverse gear ratios. And servicing is easier, since the gearshift hydraulic oil is maintenance-free for the entire truck service life. |
