ESCOT - big news for New Quester
Easy & Safe Controlled Transmission. First created in 1995 in Japan to reduce fatigue by eliminating clutch operation, ESCOT continues to evolve. Now matched with New Quester, it enables all driversto achieve superior fuel efficiency.

So what is ESCOT?

• A fast-responding automated manual transmission that has built-in intelligence
• Quickly and automatically choosing the right gear at all times

ESCOT: The Benefits

• Better fuel efficiency via seamless gear shifting for every driver
• Improved productivity and efficiency via easier driving
• Less stress and fatigue increases safety
• PWR+ mode offers greater driving stability and smoother takeoff in tough conditions

How does it work?

1. ESCOT-E automated manual transmis-sion features a non-synchromesh manual gearbox that has an electroni-cally regulated pneumatic gear changing system and an automatic clutch.
2. The secret of seamless gear changes lies in the intelligent electronic control unit, controlling the pneumatic system that handles the clutch and shifts.
3. By constantly receiving information about speed, acceleration, weight,road condition, torque demand and more, ESCOT-E can carry out every shift with extreme precision.
4. It also communicates closely with the engine to adjust revs and engine brake effect for fast, comfortable,fuel efficient gear shifts.

How does it actually improve fuel efficiency?
First of all, internal energy losses are low - actually lower than on manual gearboxes. However it’s the electronics that really make the difference. When driving in ECO mode, every gear change is timed precisely, to let the engine work at its most efficient rpm range.

ECO-ROll
When in cruise control, the ESCOT ECO-Roll fuel-saving feature calculates when it is optimal for trucks to roll down slope in neutral. It maintains speed by automatically disengaging the engine when on flat or down slope. This makes use of the truck’s momentum instead of burning fuel.

Powerful and efficient performance
The engines deliver high torque and pulling power at low RPMs, while flat torque curve minimizes need for gear changing. Meaning higher average speeds and lower fuel consumption in the long run.
