FirestarteR93 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 its like having 2 gearboxes, so when you press the pedal, there will be always power going on towards the wheels w/o interruption between gear changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dragon Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What they said above. It's not that the truck has two clutch pedals. It still has only one. It just the gearbox that is different. Some people should really get a license before even thinking about buying Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator. Drive safely, folks! < < < Don't bet on sinking ships because they'll turn your chips to trash! > > > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cestrian Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 its like having 2 gearboxes, so when you press the pedal, there will be always power going on towards the wheels w/o interruption between gear changes Don't think it has 2 gearboxes, but if its like the Honda DCT motorbike engines, it will have 2 clutch plates, one for 1st, 3rd and 5th and the second clutch plate for 2nd,4th and 6th so when the bike is ready to go from 1st to 2nd the second clutch will start engaging with 2nd and it will change and switch to 2nd, and going from 2nd to 3rd is just the first clutch spinning with 3rd gear ready for the gear change. Pretty smooth changes as well Its the best way i could explain it i7 6700k @ 4.6Ghz / Be Quiet 280mm AIO / GTX 1080 / 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM (@3200mhz) / EVGA G2 750W PSU / Samsung Evo 850 250GB SSD / 2 x 2 TB HDD / Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wazawai Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Tell you the truth I'm surprised they haven't introduced double clutch systems in trucks earlier lol... helps acceleration, and possibly fuel economy Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reisi Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I guess it has had reliability issues and they don't want to do "Volkswagen's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxii Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 A little bit of a funny story, I was actually one of the first in the whole world to drive the new Volvo FH. The company I used to work for had a masked one and we even had to sign confidentiality contracts and wasn't allowed to show anyone the inside of it. This one was the one I used to drive, it was/is the best truck I have ever driven in the whole damn world. It didn't have dual clutch but the I-Shift in itself is honestly amazing and there's nothing like it on the market, the gearchanges are so smooth sometimes that you don't even feel them with our without dual clutch. That's what desire is, the need for what we can't have. The need for what's readily available is called greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave1985 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Really? You can see both the driver and passengers heads impact the dashboard/wheel. I will stick with the Volvo thanks BigDave1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wazawai Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 No airbag deployment And the passenger has no seatbelt... Add those they'd live Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing Red Panda Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 How can you accelerate if you have two clutches? It doesn't mean you have 2 clutch pedals Its for faster change and the vehicle doesn't need to reduce the speed when changin the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMcSame Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 No airbag deployment And the passenger has no seatbelt... Add those they'd live Tbf living doesn't mean it's completely safe... You can come out with some injuries but nothing major or you can come out paralysed, both instances you live. Besides, with the EU's tighter regulations, there's no doubt that even a DAF or an MAN truck would be better than that truck, never mind Volvo which has quite the reputation for making safe vehicles.

Darth Wazawai Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 ^ point, sometimes living is worst then death. The worst would be a brain injury that makes it so you know nothing but the basics to live... Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movvy Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 i wonder how fast a truck wil accelerate with this system.considering a truck has realy short gears it currently loses kinda alot accelerating from 0-70 km/h.i realy think this will have a big effect on the trucks overall performance and eficiency. als cool to see race technology get used on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
