The new transmission is loaded with features for specific vocational conditions. An extreme duty clutch allows for improved low-speed maneuvering; a rock-free feature helps get the vehicle unstuck in mud or sand; an off-highway mode automatically tunes the transmission for optimum performance in changing soil conditions; and dual power takeoff openings can power hydraulic systems. The transmission helps vocational trucks operate on grades/slopes with a hill start aid feature, smooth shifting, and gear selection logic.
The Endurant HD V has a new secondary configuration mode, which allows drivers to toggle between two performance goals to tailor the equipment’s operations according to load or terrain.
The transmission has a 250,000-mile lube change interval. It supports Eaton’s IntelliConnect remote diagnostics to reduce downtime and quickly diagnose issues.
“The new Endurant HD V is the ideal solution for our customers looking for a reliable and capable vocational truck transmission,” said Nathan Schuler, executive director, sales, Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies. “Features such as extreme duty clutches, off-highway performance goals, rock-free mode, and secondary configuration set it apart from the competition.”
Eaton and Cummins created Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies as a 50/50 joint venture in 2017. The global joint venture produces heavy-duty automated transmissions for commercial vehicles.
