I'm actually quite surprised that the Allison is faster on acceleration on even ground. But then again, As you were on Automatic you cant skip gears (Thuogh I'm not sure can you skip gears on modern trucks) I drive a little bit older 36 ton dump truck, with only 460hp (Dont remember torque) And my usual shift patterns are Empty: 3high-5low-7low-8low-8high. In ETS terms it would be 6-9-13-15-16 Loaded: 2high-4low-5high-6high-7low-7high-8low-8high In ETS terms 4-7-10-12-13-14-15-16 Unless really slow speed is needed or terrain is sketchy.

[@JaidenJimenez86]

Gearbox behaviour in ETS isn't that good, but yes, autos can skip gears... They do it badly and this is why most drivers hate them. Allison is faster on level ground because although it's weaker in a general sense, there's no loss of momentum in the gear changes. This is why the dual clutch ishift system is so good.

[@690_5]

Our Auto Volvo apparently skips gears, however I haven't driven it, only our Manual Kenworths and the manual Volvo. It's still weird to think it's just an automatic manual.

I think the uphill test doesn't show much (especially in the first test) because the two trucks didn't have the same speed at the bottom of the climb. Maybe you should set the cruise control to 50 km/h and see which one loses the most speed at the end.

[@jonasplett172]

The fact that it wasn’t able to do either heavy loads (reasonably) is enough honestly to show it’s not a proper heavy duty truck transmission.

[@spiritx412]

Damn! So glad to see this video popping up in my recommendations after 4 years.

[@ConsiderateRider]

Fuel consumption is also interesting for the decision making. More gears allow you to drive the engine at a very efficient RPM at any speed(even some cars with automatic transmission have up to 9 gears). However, I expect that even the 6speed allows efficient driving for the speeds in typical scenarios (highway and country roads).

[@nikostalk5730]

Nope. The less number of gears you have - the less flexibility for everything you do have. Also, the author not showed a D4-start method, or switch UP to 3 gears in one moment. No side-by-side video, so, well, overrev could produce better results for 14-gear box. Very shady video, saying this as a usual car-driver.

[@ndcentral8194]

@@nikostalk5730 It's not that it's shady, it's that ETS doesn't have transmissions that work 100% true to life. They're oversimplified for the sake of keyboard players.

in ETS2 the Allison does burn quite a bit of fuel on uphills, even if it has decent performance on flats.

[@WirxawTanev]

That is probably the most informative piece of content for ETS that I've seen. Are there any other videos like that about chasses and engines?

[@timmytubede]

Doesn't the Allison gearbox come with a torque converter? That should permit for higher rpm at low speed by allowing the engine to run faster than the drivetrain. I have a feeling that this behaviour is not 100% realistically implemented in ETS2. I have driven a truck with 6 speed + torque converter in real life and from that experience I would say the torque converter can make up for missing crawler gears/low range in tricky uphill situations

[@jakeslay9180]

Even with a torque converter on a 6 speed and you were to lock or unlock it in any given gear it would still be very hard to get up a hill with 40 tons compared to a transmission that has Hi Lo and a Splitter, because it’s either slipping or the gear is too tall. The Auto transmission will be good for different applications, but when you are hauling some weight, you’ll always have more control with your Manual/Standard Transmission.

[@DMCarReviews]

I didn't like the 6 speed. It's not bad if you have no load, but if you have at least some load, the 12-18 speeds are ideal. You also get that nice downshift at wide open throttle once going at speed, and it gives a nice push. When climbing up ramps, it always keeps the truck in the powerband. The 6 speed is very bad for those purposes, and the driving dynamics on the highway.

[@MG041987]

I drive with 8 speed manual gearbox and its nice to shift… 6 speed is a shit. Yes

[@DennyFelisianus]

With the results of this test, I understand more. If the convoy is required to use a 6 speed gerabox because it is faster in accelerating. During this time always use 14 speed gear box ..

[@Kuronekaux]

This doesn't show you that the Allison has split gears on gear one and two

[@DeeKay773]

But when you're with light cargo and straight road, in manual mode, you can skip through gears and it will save you time shifting, effectively having 6-speed box. Same as in real life.

[@kennedy796]

If you were shifting the gears manually, the 14 speed would be better as in real life, there is no reason you cant just shift through the pattern and only split the last gear

firstly mad respect for chroming up the 14 speed bro. youd be so surprised how many actually underestimate that box. secondly this is the reason why even with a crap engine take the 12/14 speed if possible. also with the 6 speed, next time you do something similar stick on the diff pull the axle up and feather it. sometimes that works. best way is to back down the hill and pull up your axle. gives the unit that extra kick when on the road.

The 2 biggest metric in terms of transmission performance is shift time and the number of gears: shift time needs to be as low as possible because you can't apply torque when shifting (it's why dct is better than manual/automanual and automatic have almost no shift time). number of gears is important because the more gear you have, the more versatile the trans is, but you lose in accelartion by stacking shift time.

[@SoggyToast506]

14 speed gearboxes are designed for heavier cargo, that’s also another reason why it takes a while for it to get up to speed then the 6 speed gearbox, the 6 speed only has 6 gears while the 14 speed has 14 gears, with lighter cargo the 6 speed can easily get up to speed very quickly because it has less gears, to go through but with heavier cargo the 6 speed is very slow and can’t really handle it as much as the 14 speed can. Because the 14 speed kicks a bit more power to the engine then the 6 speed. I may be wrong to some extent and correct to some extent.

[@mlippert]

I think the main Problem is that the games automatic transmission doesn't skip gears like a real person would. (With light load you would maybe start in 3rd gear, then go 5-7-9-11-13-14) The engine has a useable RPM-Range, and an optimal power RPM. With 14 gears you are more likely to find a gear that is close to that optimal RPM at a given speed.

They used them on automatic. Without the adaptive option, it generally stays fairly low in the power band. The 6-speed *has* to rev higher to avoid falling out after the shift. That indeed produces most of the discrepancy. It would’ve been a fairer test if they also checked fuel consumption, or used adaptive/manual shifting to allow the 14-speed to rev more.

[@Destin65]

Very enlightening video. Allison is great for general cargo runs, especially light to medium loads, it's literally "set it and forget it" and just enjoy the views. But the reason I don't use them much is because they suffer in the hills, even some on-ramps still existent from the old days will leave you either taking a detour or a late delivery, or both. My go-to for most trucks is the 1.00 12th gear 12-speed transmission. If I break out the 8x4 for special transports it's going to have the 12+2 or 16-speed, depending on make and model. Allison better off grocery and livestock hauling. And don't even get me started on special transport quick jobs... all you can see is basic info, many times I drew the bad card of the OD 12-speed and couldn't get up an on-ramp, even after backing up and around corner and down street to where rear escort was to get a fast running start only to die just before the crest forcing me to cancel job after several tries. I've done a bit of fuel economy testing trying to find the best transmission in that respect. Again the 1.00 transmission always outperforms anything else in most conditions. 12+2 was second and 12-OD a close third. Allison was getting the worst fuel economy of those 4. This being mixed terrain hauling out of Livorno into France through the hills, or up into Germany via either Swiss or Austria. Hills prove that the 1.00 transmission is best all-rounder. I wonder if the 12+2 with 315/80 tires could equal it being that the taller tires lower the top gear RPM down about 100 roughly and giving additional economy on the long haul. Hmmm. Something else to test. Anyways, GREAT video you both made! Excellent seeing the transmission's performance varying wildly based on different conditions.

[@marcausn]

test is completely done wrong: in a gearbox with splitted gears as the 14 speed is, you don't shift through every gear (what would be half a gear in fact). at older trucks, you had a lever or button on the shifter, if you wanted to use the splitted gears. you used them only if your truck struggled. in your test, you shift the 14speed through every (half) gear, what is absolutely unnecessary... if you shifted with the wheel, it is no problem to shift 2 or 3 times "in one go" before the truck takes on gas (did that in the simulator, too, to get a somehow realistic driving experience)... try it with this next time. the least thing you should do, is using the ingame autoshift... it is horrible.

Unfortunately, the torque converter simulation in both ATS and ETS2 is absent. They are simulated like a softer clutch, and the lockup happens on every shift. I had to mod the physics.sii file to simulate a proper torque converter, but by doing so, the torque converter no longer locks. It is forever in hydraulic coupling only. It's way more pleasurable to drive, but the fuel consumption increases a lot.

So that's why freightliner has an advantage uphill ..cos of 18 speed gearbox

[@icecreaminc8013]

eaton fuller makes 18 speed gearboxes for any truck you want. in general EF 13's are for normal trucking and 18's are for heavy. 18's can do normal stuff but waste fuel, even with gear skipping (driving like its a 13 where you skip the splits one through four, sometimes 5 and 6 as well).

[@CoOkie_75]

Something Unique ❤🎉

[@Redbikemaster]

More speeds = more efficient engine usage I've driven a 9 speed and it just couldn't handle hills like my current 13 speed can, even with the exact same engine and engine power level in both. BTW I'm a truck driver IRL lol. I'm talking real world.

[@fausto123]

Those Scania looks nice

[@KuntalGhosh]

If this game had proper physics.. the torque converter or clutch would have been on fire right now🤣

[@aykuttasdelen]

This is a completely wrong comparison. We see that the 6-speed vehicle changes gear when it reaches 2000 rpm in 1st gear... In this case, the 6-speed vehicle will accelerate faster at low tonnage. We see that the 14-speed vehicle changes gear when it reaches 1500 rpm in 1st gear. For this reason, there will be a delay in acceleration because there are too many gear shifts at low tonnage. In this case, the 6-speed vehicle will burn more fuel than the 14-speed vehicle. I could not see the information that the traction control "adaptive automatic transmission" of both vehicles is turned off in the in-game settings.

[@MrGeati6783]

61 tons would kill the Allison gearbox uphill after a few minutes...overheating has to be added to ETS.

[@kaparone21]

we are talking about 750 hp not 260 hp, in real life a truck with 400 hp 14 gear can pull 70 ton without overheating so that doesn't make much sense and by the way, before u asking, i work with a mercedes actros 440 hp 16 manual gears 6x4, if u say 122 ton now i believe u

[@MrGeati6783]

@@kaparone21 the 6 speed allison gearbox is not built for climbing or fuel efficieny, it does not even have a clutch. The ATF oil in an automatic transmission heats up, when the torque converter can't close between gears or especially on first gear. Its built for fast and seemless shifting in citys with smaller trucks.

[@kaparone21]

You are right, i did'n't know the name of the transmission i thought that u're talking about de 14 gear manual sorry

[@Tokyu-oj8oz]

Wait, judging from the shifting speed... 6 speed truck transmissions are hydraulic tourqe converter gearboxes just like in buses?

[@kelvincarvalho2459]

exactly they are Hydramatic transmissions with torque converter

[@ddreas]

Allison can be just as good as the 14 speeder, but the default final gear ratio is waaaay too small. I've done heavy hauls with it, but changed final drive to a shorter 4.8 instead of defalut 3.91. I like the allision because i have to shift less from the paddles, and engine braking is smoother, but bigger gear gaps make it hard to accelerate uphills. However i've modified it to have 8 gears and the ratios of ZF8HP gearboxes used in cars and now it has the best of both 14 and 6 speed

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Bigger Gear gaps. The Allison has a hydraulik torque converter. The translation between the 6 gears is again 2.3-1.2 infinitely variable (instead of a split gear) until the converter lockup clutch closes. Of course I don't know if this is simulated in the game. We had similar 4-speed ZF transmissions in the Army 100t tank transporter.

[@ndcentral8194]

There's A LOT to unpack in this video due to the sheer quantity of factors in this experiment that affect the outcome. Simplifying a large chunk of this for the sake of the argument, and as well as for the sake of SCS which also simplifies how engines deliver power to save on development resources, as well as to better cater to keyboard players. Trucks are slow at shifting. Every time you shift, you stop applying power, and you lose momentum the engine has to start making up again when you start accelerating again. Gear ratios are also vastly different in each transmission that affects how efficient power is delivered and this is the biggest factor. The 14 speed has a much lower 1st gear ratio as opposed to the 6 speed and although the 14 speed starts moving quick, its momentum is immediately stalled because the transmission has to upshift. Doing this 14 times is much slower than doing this only 6 times. The 6 speed spends the time that the 14 speed is shifting, in its power band still applying throttle (I will cover this in a moment.) Less shifting means more time applying power. That's why it's no surprise the 6 speed was in fact slower, (though surprisingly quick even with a fairly weighted load on.) HOWEVER, when the trucks are very heavy this will end up hurting your acceleration. This is because the 6 speed has longer gears in order to achieve the same speeds and loses lots of RPMs every time the transmission has to upshift compared to the 14 speed. When you get to your taller gears, the engine will be below its power band and is not making enough power, this hurts momentum and makes you slower. Contrary to the 6 speed, although spending more time shifting, the 14 speed will always be within the engine's power band and closer to the peak efficiency. Means you're making more power and more torque (although at this point it is no longer that important) more consistently than the 6 speed can ever do. And because you no longer have the HP to move the load, you slow down, a lot. This is why you can see the truck with the 14 speed climb hills far better than the 6 speed. Closer to the power band, even when you shift more because at the end of the day, you spend more time in the power band with the 14 speed than you do with the 6 speed outside the power band after it shifts. It all comes down to somewhat simple physics.

[@fadhlifizz94]

where the location of uphill?

[@ruben11450]

If you want speed use the 6, if you own a gearbox and want to have fun passing gears 14, the 14 is also more versatil at engine braking and when going uphill when you want an "inbetween" gear

[@karma4859]

What even is this. 14 speed is definitely more for heavy stuff. Otherwise normal hauling just use a 12 speed or 12+2 speed with those two extra forward gears C1 and C2 for slow moving offs.

[@JoyKazuhira]

thanks, i just bought the heavy cargo dlc and west balkan today for 10.12usd. i think im gonna upgrade my engine to 14speed and learn how to use range and splitter.

RUS В этом видео чётко видно враньё. На 14 ступенчатой коробке передач, намеренно не давали газ. Это видно по видео. На 6 ступенчатой коробке передач хорошо перевозить малотоннажные грузы, чем тяжолые. 14 ступенчатая коробка мощьнее, чем 6 ступенчатая коробка. ENG This video clearly shows lies. On a 14-speed gearbox, intentionally did not give gas. This is visible in the video. On a 6-speed gearbox, it is good to carry light tonnage than heavy ones. A 14-speed gearbox is more powerful than a 6-speed gearbox.

This is a bit pointless considering the automatic shifting simulation for the 14 speed manual is all over the place. The game doesn't properly change gears in manual gears, making it bad at accelerating and fuel efficiency. I personally use sequential manual in ETS2 and ATS to properly control the shifting, though a proper H-Shifter with high and low ( or more since tge ATS 18 gears are actually 3 different gearboxes) are even more precise to make it faster and more efficient.

[@nickwhite6717]

Actually, 18 speed RR boxes are one gearbox, with 2 auxiliary sections. Older spicers and mack gearboxes are 2, sometimes 3 different and separate boxes. Good day
