Benefits of AMT

They will find driving this truck has a shorter learning curve, with less fatigue when on long drives or in traffic. It’s also economical as the truck itself decides and selects the gear for the driving condition, saving on fuel costs. This results in better fuel economy, and since there is no clutch pedal, there is no need for clutch maintenance or replacement, saving money in the long run.
