Eaton has made the UltraShift Highway Value (HV) transmission available as a data book option for Ford F650 Super Duty and Ford F750 Super Duty series trucks.

The HV is a fully automated transmission for Class 6 and 7 vehicles with diesel engines in the 195 to 260 horsepower range.

Tests conducted by an independent firm in accordance with SAE J1526 Joint TMC/SAE Fuel Consumption In-Service Test Procedure, Type III determined that the UltraShift HV transmission delivers better fuel efficiency in a variety of duty cycles than a conventional automatic transmission.

The HV is capable of handling torque capacities up to 660 pounds per foot and loads up to 33,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. It is ideally suited for pickup/delivery, service/utility and recovery applications.

Additional key features and benefits include:

• No scheduled maintenance: no filters to change feature provides lower maintenance and reduced downtime costs.
• Hill assist: automatically minimizes rollback on up to 10 percent grades while the operator makes the transition from the brake pedal to the accelerator, which benefits the driver in both uphill and downhill stop and start situations.
• Modular design: provides more rapid service and reduced service costs.
• Commonality: electronics modules and shift controls used on other Fuller manual and automated transmissions allow service providers to reduce service parts inventories and speed training and certification of technicians
