Better shift quality Lower fuel consumption+ reduced CO2 emissionsSaves fuel...On a typical drive cycle, the Zeroshift AMT demonstrates a marked

improvement in fuel economy over a manual. During a conventional

gearshift there is increased fuelling during re-engagement of the

power, this is not required with Zeroshift.

Reduces emissions...This decreased fuelling requirement with Zeroshift results in less

harmful emissions to the environment. No fuel is wasted whilst changing

gear as there is no time when the engine is not driving the wheels.

Even with the industry’s most advanced gear systems it is

possible to still feel the shifts. Our tests have shown that

Zeroshift is smoother than a six-speed auto on the market today.

With constant torque providing acceleration, as well as

smoother changes, the vehicle is more stable and benefi ts

from higher levels of control, allowing gear changes while

cornering as well as improving pulling power.

The world’s fastest Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) with seamless shifts

Automated Manual Transmissions (AMT) suffered from

poor shift quality until Zeroshift Limited developed its new

replacement for synchromesh. The Zeroshift system provides

smoother shifts, improved acceleration and reduced emissions.

Existing manual gearbox plants are easily converted to

Zeroshift. The basic manual gearbox architecture and the

single clutch are both retained. The Zeroshift mechanism is

compact enough to replace a synchromesh pack even in small

cars and motorcycles.

Acceleration, effi ciency, size and weight of Zeroshift all

compare favourably to the best automatic transmission

systems while shift quality is either matched or exceeded.

The technology is applicable to all passenger cars, trucks,

motorcycles, motorsport vehicles and off highway equipment.

Zeroshift technology is a seamless, instantaneous means of changing gear ratios without interrupting the torque to the driveline. It is less expensive than both continuously variable transmissions (CVT) and dual clutch transmissions (DCT)

The fundamentalsof Zeroshift

Essentially Zeroshift is a simple torque hand-over from one gear to another, governed electronically by a low force automated system

Two drive rings with alternating faces share a common

hub and allow drive in one or the other direction; one ring

takes up drive, the other eliminates the backlash that is

common in dog shift transmissions.

When conducting a Zeroshift, the unloaded ring is

moved with considerably less force to that of existing

transmissions. Engine synchronization is conditioned by

a control system to ensure a seamless torque transition.

Integrating Zeroshift into your company is also a seamless transition

Replacing the synchromesh eliminates components with minimal disruption to the production line

Better performanceBecause of its enhanced performance, Zeroshift allows

vehicle manufacturers to downsize their powertrains,

allowing, for example, a 1.2-litre engine to enjoy the same

performance as a 1.4-litre engine.

This is achieved due to the complete removal of shift time

normally associated with a synchromesh manual.

In a drag race, a 2005 Mustang fi tted with Zeroshift gained

over 5 car lengths over an otherwise identical manual car.
