500 hp with i shift

I'd rather hang up the keys & change careers than to drive a truck with an automatic transmission.

 

Read on ttr that their getting good fuel milage and easy on a old mans knee and probably makes good business sense-dont know if i'd buy one but thats just my opinion.

 

have you ever try ishift?

 

have you ever had to pay for fixing one?

 

dont have any volvo but never heard for anyone who had any breakdown unless truck was really old

but today no one keep truck for longer than 4-5-6years

here over 95% of all trucks are with automated transmission because they have better overall efficiency and no one wants to drive manual anymore

and it is quite hard to sold truck with manual

 

Shifting is part of driving. I like to drive.

 

The ishift appears to hold up
. Unlike the ultrashift. The freedom
Line did well also.

 

I shift and freedom shares electronic boards and clutch actuators

But ZF air system is fully WABCO, I-shift got some Knorr Bremse parts

 

I used to think that, however, all new UK trucks at least are autos now and I wouldn't go back to manual. Makes driving so much easier and far more fuel efficient. In 10 years I pretty much guarantee all trucks will be automatic.
