Vaguely remember a few years ago, when school is also hard to walk off holding food stalls, accidentally put out the fire on the car, stay in the master's curse. Today, the changes of time, as well as the requirements for high efficiency drivingmakes a more humane, automatic transmission is also more and more on stage.

In China, if that is installed in the car manual or automatic transmission used, then in large trucks and equipment to install this package is a rare. China National Heavy Duty Truck andlasted more than two years to develop a smart-shift manual transmission (SMARTSHIFT), and match in HOWO A7 on new products for the domestic heavy truck industry has opened a magnificent chapter.

Classic shape the international trend

Test field, eight are equipped with AMT transmission CNHTC trucks lined up, their posture is very spectacular. At this point, ranked first in the HOWO A7 come into my eyes. Had just arrived at that, although the northern cold for me not in the habit of speaking the southerners, but the mighty A7 posture makes me emotional, impatient, I urge it to be a full range of analysis. As the saying goes: To evaluate things, the most important first impression. HOWO A7 there is love at first sight kind of feeling.

A7 mighty posture

A friend familiar with the car that "Giugiaro" Maybe not unfamiliar to us, it is the famous Italian design company, has Maserati, Bugatti and other fantasy-ho car design cars. "Giugiaro" in its original design philosophy for each car to show his own personality to provide capital. China National Heavy truck with Giugiaro design company co-operation with the international trend to design a classic shape. In particular, the modular design is a new headlight assembly, the distance light lamps, fog lamps, etc. into one. Scattered-style layout to make beautiful novel modeling, visual effects, crisp simplicity. In addition, above the windshield with a combination of lights, for night-time traffic to provide a good vision. Car side of the bright spots from the band combination of aluminum alloy pedals tank, this design can be as easy maintenance personnel boarded the rear car to carry out maintenance work.

The new design of modular assembly headlamp

HOWO A7 engine assembly installation location HOWO series than the original installation location raised about 10cm, to enhance the adoption of the vehicle.

Cab internal changed dashboard, and the use of warm accessories. In between luxury and warmth, for commercial vehicles, I believe most people would choose warm. A7 give full consideration to the environment driver rest, the control room, not only interior space to accommodate an adult 180cm to walk upright, and under the sleeper can be split into two seats and a small table, the interior layout of driving heavy trucks in China rarely see .

The newly designed sleeper and rest rooms

Shift speed smart agile

HOWO A7 use of a large number of human design. Usually enter the cab when the driver had been steering wheel and seat spacing between the troubled smaller, while the A7 solve the puzzles. After stopping the driver in the lower left side is located just down the pedal and steering wheel with the ground to the vertical position, can facilitate access to the cab driver had.

SMARTSHIFT-AMT will also provide financial, power and climbing mode

Finally can try "smart shift," the. SMARTSHIFT is an automatic mechanical transmission (AMT), which is in mechanical clutch gearbox and dry basis, through the electronic control unit to control the election files, shift and clutch manipulation. AMT and is usually used in cars on the structure of AT different, which is driven through the hydraulic turbine oil, hydraulic oil and then the model-driven mechanical devices, hydraulic oil-driven losses are often greater efficiency, so fuel consumption will rise . It should be said that the manipulation of AMT with AT similar structure MT Principle and similar can be said to weigh the respective characteristics of both. In addition, this transmission built-4 reverse, operation is very simple and can also meet the needs of a variety of traffic conditions.

Will adjust the seat back to the most comfortable position, hold down the transmission on the "F (function)" key and move forward, then down the accelerator pedal, A7 inA resounding sound of the engine made a big step forward . Because it is empty driving, the driver can be forced to intervene or file manually. In any case, this transmission live up its name implies, intelligently understand the driver's driving intention, or file a timely and effective step to reduce the driver clutch shift brought about by physical exertion, so that they can concentrate on observation of traffic.
