Electric Power Assist

Significant internal transmission changes to clutch controls and hardware provide reduced spin losses while improving shift quality. The added electric power provided by the eAssist system allows for higher gearing to improve steady state efficiency without impacting acceleration performance or driveability. The systems capability of providing up to 11kW of electric power assist at cruising speeds allows the driver to accelerate lightly, ascend mild grades without the transmission downshifting and helps performance during wide open throttle maneuvers.
