SmartShift

Designed to offer more freedom in the cab, Freightliner SmartShift is a huge shift forward in automated mechanical transmission technology. Mounted to the steering column, hands-on-the-wheel shifting offers drivers more room in the cab and minimizes fatigue over the course of the day that can result from traditional gear-shift transmission design.

Additional SmartShift Advantages include:

  • Easy to operate with the push or pull of a hand lever
  • More space in the cab because the floor-mounted or seat-mounted shift control is eliminated
  • Dash-mounted display
  • No need to remove hands from wheel to operate
  • Driver's eyes remain on the road which means less physical and mental driver fatigue
  • Automatic shifting feature is easily overridden
