Abstract:The objective of this project was to evaluate and characterize the Volvo I-Shift 12-speed AMT (automated manual transmission) available for use in heavy-duty vehicles produced for the North American market. The evaluation of this transmission consisted of in-gear efficiency mapping, torque converter mapping, torque converter engagement strategy characterization, oil pump testing, parasitic loss determination, shift schedule identification with laden versus unladen shift algorithm mapping, characterization of ratio spread, and packaging envelope. The transmission benchmarking efforts undertaken as part of this project sought to provide NHTSA with powertrain data that improves vehicle modeling and standard writing activities. This report details the technological advancements of the I-Shift transmission and the empirical data collected as part of the project.
