  • Includes all of the features and benefits of the original UltraShift PLUS transmission
  • Features 16 forward gears and two reverse gears, and an overall ratio of 14.40
  • Uses an electronic clutch actuator to provide faster shifting and smoother engagement
  • Clutch is fully engaged at idle, giving driver ultimate control in challenging situations, like parking lots, loading docks and other tight spaces
  • Features fully automated two-pedal design (no clutch pedal)
  • Safety aspects include auto neutral and Intelligent Hill Start Aid, which prevents roll-back and roll-forward while launching on grades using foundation wheel brakes
