I just wish the ecomat would adapt to driving conditions. When I’m doing 40km/h in a quiet neighbourhood and barely on the accelerator, I don’t need transmission in 3rd gear making the engine scream at 2000rpm 😅
@@AllieGee95 The Ecomats i know had a different issue... They changed to gear 6 at 40km/h :P litteraly straining the engine with too low rpm (750rpm) It's usually down to the loadsensor....
@@AllianceB95 OH they had Topodyn, but it was poorly programmed it seems. See I wish ours had Topodyn but with adequate programming/behaviour. We’ve got a similar issue with our Voith DIWA854.5. It shifts too early. Cummins ISL8.9 has a redline of 2300-2400 depending on the MY. The DIWA it’s 2500 rpm… the damn thing always shifts at 1600-1650 on gently accelerations and when flat out on a steep hill, it will only reach 1900. It’s frustrating cuz it still has 400-500 rpm left to give. But nope it’s like “nah, I wanna take it slow”. Acceleration is pathetically slow. Bus #1207 seems to the be slowest in the fleet. It’s a NovaBus LFS Artic with said ISL8.9 and DIWA… I timed it the other day… 1m38s 0-100 km/h 🥲 it was a pain. The 80-100 was the longest part at a whopping 55 seconds.
@@AllieGee95 Just the tought of that slowness makes my foot hurt because of all the thrashing i would do... Try this: If it does that 1900rpm shift again... Right when it does that let go of the trottle and smash the trottle... that might cause a panic attack of the voith doing a downshift and it might not change gear untill 2300rpm or higher. (it works on non kickdownbusses too)

I prefer the Ecomat all day every day :)

Pour le boîte de vitesse ecolife il faut obligatoirement utiliser le TEST-MAN pour l'essai
Not in our setup. We use our own device to control it. 😉
My crean libherr ltm 1070. Gear shifting not mach.
6 gear.
