Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) has introduced its BharatBenz heavy-duty truck range with a globally acclaimed 12-speed Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) technology. The Torqshift transmission, adapted from Mercedes-Benz trucks, has been tested and proven in hundreds of thousands of Daimler Truck heavy-duty vehicles worldwide. The AMT technology will feature in several BharatBenz models, including the 4032T, 5532TS, 5532T, 2832CM, and the flagship 3532CM. The company has received a bulk order of 80 units for its 3532CM mining tippers. The Torqshift transmission offers benefits such as smooth and jerk-free gear shifting, faster shift times, and superior driving comfort. It is designed to reduce driving stress, ensure faster turnaround, and deliver higher fuel efficiency. The range caters to heavy-duty requirements in construction, mining, and long-haul operations and offers a broader selection of gear ratios and higher input torque capacity. The company plans to extend the AMT technology to Tractor Trailers as well, aiming to enhance productivity and road safety.
