Robotized Gearbox
ROBOTIZED GEARBOX CONTROL SYSTEM The robotized gearbox control system is composed of an electro-hydraulic servo system which manages the gearchange and clutch operation. A specific ECU (NCR) controls the complete system by using a strategy which is based on driver inputs and various vehicle parameters. Therefore the NCR interacts with other vehicle systems (NCM, NFR,…) and uses a driver interface (gearshift paddles and control buttons). A specific characteristic of the system is that it can be integrated on a mechanical transmission without requiring any specific modifications.
