More fuel efficient than torque converter automatics and more serviceable than any other competitor.

UltraShift PLUS employs grade sensing, weight computation and driver throttle commands to make intelligent shift decisions for reliability and performance. The system automatically selects the appropriate starting gear and makes all shift decisions based on grade, vehicle weight, engine torque and throttle position –skip shifting when appropriate.

And, the UltraShift PLUS provides a new level of integration with engine, truck and drivetrain components to give you the optimal mix of performance and economy. Each unit can be customized for its unique operational needs.
