HI-TRONIX TRASMISSION
The new-generation, 12-speed
HI-TRONIX automated transmission with electronic clutch offers the most advanced technology in its category:
- modular, service-friendly concept
- 99.7% efficiency
- extraordinary
durability
- best-in-class gear spread (16.7)
- and
best-in-class torque-to-weight ratio.
Compared to the previous model,
HI-TRONIX transmission improves all performance indicators: it reduces shifting time by 10%, it is designed for almost twice the gearshifts of the previous generation of automated transmission, and it extends transmission oil change intervals to up to 600,000 kilometres (on long-hauling).
HI-TRONIX transmission also offers additional functionalities, such as maneuvering mode (creep) for low-speed operation, working like a torqueconverter transmission; rocking function to recover grip on low-adherence surfaces, 4 reverse gears and a new offer of PTOs.
HI-CRUISE INTEGRATED DRIVE SYSTEM
The NEW STRALIS also introduces the IVECO HI-CRUISE integrated drive system, that includes
GPS-based systems such as predictive cruise control and gearshifting, and further enhances the eco-roll function.
The transmission and GPS system are networked, so that an anticipatory driving strategy that perfectly matches topography and shift sequence is possible. The new IVECO HI-CRUISE also integrates ECOSWITCH parameters such as
cruise control set speed and torque limiter: it
limits fuel consumption while allowing emergency override.
IVECO HI-CRUISE, combined with ECOSWITCH, is an
efficient driver assistant that provides considerable advantages:
- speed and gear managed by an “electronic-horizon” algorithm that adopts advanced fuel-saving strategie;
- misuse prevention guaranteed by speed limiter, kick-down de-activation and electronically-controlled gearshift timin;
- outstanding
driving comfort.
IVECO HI-CRUISE has been fine-tuned on real-life mission requirements in order to satisfy all parties:
- truck drivers appreciate IVECO HI-CRUISE because it is smooth, simplifies their job and allows them to focus on safety rather than road routine;
- fleet managers highly value IVECO HI-CRUISE because it provides substantial fuel savings (and increased long-term reliability) also with low-skilled drivers.
