The Telligent® gearshift available as an option for all Axor models from 205 kW (279 hp) upwards fits the bill for a state-of-the-art gearshift in every possible respect: when drivers want to shift up or down, they merely have to nudge the shift lever forwards or backwards. The Telligent® gearshift then instantly computes the gear best suited to the current torque and engine speed, with the aim of maintaining fuel consumption at the most favourable level. The pre-selected gear is flashed up in the display. If the driver is satisfied with the selection, all that remains to do is depress the clutch pedal. Nevertheless, the driver always has the final say: if a different gear seems to be a better choice than that suggested, when driving uphill or on a winding section of road, for instance, the gear selection can be altered manually. The rocker switch control makes for convenient splitting of the gears, which is handy when drivers only want to shift up or down by a single gear ratio. Furthermore, the possibility of over-revving or gearshift errors is completely excluded thanks to the Telligent® gearshift.
Also on the option list for the 170-kW (231-hp) model is the Telligent® automated (AutoTrans) gearshift which relieves the strain on drivers without relieving them of ultimate control. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, gear changes are made without the driver even having to operate the clutch, taking all of the hard work out of hill starts, manoeuvring in tight yards or reversing, whilst, on the other hand, the driver is still free to take control of gear selection at any time. The precise gearshift is not just kind to the gearbox; it is by no means unheard of for drivers to cut their fuel consumption courtesy of the Telligent® automated (AutoTrans) gearshift. |
