Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies is broadening its Endurant family of transmission series by introducing the Endurant HD V transmission. 

According to Eaton Cummins, the new transmission is designed for vocational truck applications with maximum gross combination weight ratings of 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg). The transmission is optimized for 9-liter, 11-liter, and the upcoming Cummins X10 engines. Maximum engine torque is 1,700 lbs.-ft. (2300 Nm).

A Host of Vocational-Specific Features

The new Endurant HD V was designed with features used around the job site. These include an extreme duty clutch for improved low-speed maneuvering and a rock free feature to help get unstuck in mud or sand. The transmission also features an off-highway mode that automatically tunes the transmission for optimum performance in changing soil conditions, and dual power takeoff (PTO) openings to power hydraulic systems. 

The Endurant HDV delivers smooth launch performance on grades thanks to its hill start aid feature, the smooth shifting and gear selection logic, according to Eaton Cummins.

The new secondary configuration mode gives drivers the ability to toggle between two performance goals, features that optimize the transmission shift points and clutch calibration, allowing for a tailored driving experience that accounts for the load or terrain.

“The new Endurant HD V is the ideal solution for our customers looking for a reliable and capable vocational truck transmission,” said Nathan Schuler, executive director, Sales, Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies. “Features such as extreme duty clutches, off-highway performance goals, rock free mode, and secondary configuration set it apart from the competition.”
