Tat gearlever is connected to an Eaton Twin Splitter transmission.
And that's how the remarkable feat described in the headline is possible.
The Eaton Twin Splitter features a four-speed main gearbox, built on the ultrareliable Fuller principle, and connected to a unique threespeed splitter.
The gearlever itself shifts on a simple, single "H" pattern. Meaning that only four lever movements are needed from standstill to cruising speed.
The splitter? That's the clever part. To operate it, you just pre-select your next gear by flicking the switch on the gearlever from Low, to Intermediate, to High. Then just dip the clutch, and the new gear engages automatically, in a fraction of a second. In fact you'll soon learn to change gears at cruising speed, just by backing off the throttle. Just think what that means. A complete motorway journey with the lever in fourth all the way. And all your attention focussed on the road ahead.
Naturally, the Twin Splitter allows you to skip shift, too. Giving you a transmission that dramatically simplifies driving, reducing driver stress and increasing his productivity.
For all its innovative qualities, the Twin Splitter uses many of the mechanical principles that have made the Eaton Fuller gearbox a byword for reliability throughout Europe. Features like the unique Eaton twin countershaft to spread high torque loadings, reducing stress and wear — a simple, sensible design engineered to last over 500,000 miles.
In operation, Eaton's Twin Splitter offers the optimum gear spread to keep today's high torque engines working in the green band, at peak efficiency.
Specify it, and we think you'll find that the Twin Splitter's combination of durability, low operating costs and reduced driver effort makes it unique in European truck transmissions.
Best of all, you'll find it puts all these benefits at your fingertips.
