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.
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.
Why not to make universal solution. First speed with tractor gear ratio, for such a heavy climb, and the rest 5 for flat terrain, sufficient in most cases.
Why do you think that, all trucks i've driven had 16 gears, 1-8 and the halfs, makes it 16... talking about MB actross mp3 450hp, mp4 480hp and Man TGX 480. In USA all big rigs, ment to drive on snow have 13 or more gears, anything less is a joke.

Awesome test, thats is the way to show what we need in rpm multiplier about power or torque(depending of gear ratio) its a shame that scs didnt improve inertia, grip and traction to realistic feeling yet, but i like think they are working on that
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.
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).

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.
It allows you to reach maximum torque more quickly which imroves acceleration and climbing, but because of its shorter ratios it has a much slower top speed than a 6 speed, but why would you look for top speed in a big truck anyway??
Lol the front wheels dont touch the road because the truck is pulling si hard it lifted them, good video! 9:40 but one question, those flashing lights in the rack of the truck is a mod or you can put them normally?
Great video. Now, of course, the 14 speed can pull heavy cargo because it's designed to do that the 6 speed doesn't have C1 so that's why it's useless at pulling heavy cargo plus the 14 speed has more great although the 14 speed is a bit slower at accelerating so yeah.
Its beacouse THE Allison is limited tog 2200 nm thats wy in a Long climd THE 730 can use all its 3500 nm in THE higher gears om THE opticruise its also limited in low gears otherwise it Will distroy THE axels and differential .so if this would be done with a 480 then it would be more acurate to compare gearboxes.i Have a 470 with Allison cearbox in reallife..
Was always curious.. Still not much consequence in game to using wrong engine, trans, tires, axles.. Etcc Would love to see more use of the scales requiring proper axle counts. I remember a game years ago used to penalize you if you picked the wrong load.
I noticed myself that my truck became slower and consumed more fuel when getting from 6 to 12 speed. ut shouldn't shorter gear ratios help it accelerating faster with more load?
the thing is that the higher gears are longer, which means it takes more power for the engine to turn the gears because there's also less torque reduction. Final Drive has a lot to do with it, your 1st gear may be much shorter, say like 14.40, but your final drive gear will probably be something like 3.25 or 3.37.
so this is really a great video. thank you very much for creating it. now I can configure my trucks better accordingly. it helped me a lot. I immediately subscribed
I am having an issue with long trailers (jazzycat overweight trailer mods ). When i turn with some speed the trailer has steerable axle which turn aslo .but when aometimes i turn my truck slips off and get crashed badly dont know why only happening with long trailers i faced 62,000 euro on repair 😢😢😢. Plz anyone has solution for it
Soo is that why those heavy haul trucks in 8x4 configuration have 2 sets steering wheels ? Not only it helps in maneuverability but also in the case of front-most wheel gets lifted off the asphalt such as in this video, it can still steer itself with 2nd row wheels ?
@@VedantB1710 it's power that matters, not torque... Having a lot of low end torque means that this engine produces 500hp at 1000rpm. But the 730hp are produced at 1900rpm. By up-shifting at 1500rpm you never even reach 700hp.
@@dufonrafal no no, since diesel engine works on compression to create power rather than a spark, due to the high compression in the cylinder the materials are in constant high stress levels, if you rev it up then they experience very high stress levelss.. And diesel burns slowly as compared to petrol so yeah
@@VedantB1710 I know that, so what? The maximum power still is at 1900rpm on this engine, not 1500rpm. I don't know of any truck driver that upshift at 1500rpm with such a heavy load.
@@dufonrafal dude Even in race cars torque drop at most setting is halfway near the top, usually 1-2k rpm gaps You haul heavy loads, power aint means, you need torque When you hits redline, you use more fuel (if you turn on the fuel consumption) and risk of overheating (in real life) for basically slight to none advantages If its power matters, why trucks have thousands of torque ?
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.
The frequent shifting from the 14 speed made the truck lose some time. Imagine if the 14 speed has seamless shifts then it would outperform the 6 speed.
in real life you'll just skip gears, i do it all the time on ets, from 1 to 3 to 5 to 7, only when i want a more defined gear i use the between (midle gear, the 2,4,6,8) the 12 ofc for max speed.
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.
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).
Eso pasa cuando no saben usar la caja de cambio, en cualquiera de los dos casos para las cuestas arriba se debe hacer la reducción de velocidad para que el motor no pierda revoluciones por minutos y mantener la fuerza de torque.
Never heard about these gearboxes in european trucks,new ones are mostly automatic .Man tga i drive is 8 speed manual gearbox with how we call it halfs. Its every gear with high and low in total it is 16 speeds
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
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.
There is problem in gearbox software. 14 speed gearbox is shisfting up in "economy mod" at 1500 rpm. 6 speed gearbox allows to go to 2000 rpm and at this rpm the engine has higher power. You should try manual mod of 14 speed and go to the limiter. I think, we could see different results.
@@theblitz1687 Yeah, and you can change the automatic mode. Power mode will shift at the redline. Also, they are adaptive enough to shift and skips a gear or two. Although sometimes it skips too much and bogs me down below 1,000 rpm. But the video seems someone uses power mode and the other one use normal or economic or some sort.
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.
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
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.

The 6 speed is for acceleration and speed and the 14 speed is for pulling

I hope you could test the 14 speed in manual, I mean in manual mode you could keep the 14 speed transmission closer to the engine peak power for much longer.
@Kondzikqqq Or you can switch the gearbox into performance mode... Which it wasn't in in the video.

9:12 Well, well😅
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.
14 speed more flexible
high start ability & high top speed
Mantap mbah
It allows you to reach maximum torque more quickly which imroves acceleration and climbing, but because of its shorter ratios it has a much slower top speed than a 6 speed, but why would you look for top speed in a big truck anyway??
@@hakimHAKIM-uc7kq high top speed means the truck is good for cruising, high speed with lower engine rev
How did you play Double Heavy Cargo? 122ton??????
We used save editing method to modify cargo weight
If You had a shifter for the 6 speed it would be another story
Lol the front wheels dont touch the road because the truck is pulling si hard it lifted them, good video!
9:40 but one question, those flashing lights in the rack of the truck is a mod or you can put them normally?
Normally, with Special Transport DLC.
Great video. Now, of course, the 14 speed can pull heavy cargo because it's designed to do that the 6 speed doesn't have C1 so that's why it's useless at pulling heavy cargo plus the 14 speed has more great although the 14 speed is a bit slower at accelerating so yeah.
Its beacouse THE Allison is limited tog 2200 nm thats wy in a Long climd THE 730 can use all its 3500 nm in THE higher gears om THE opticruise its also limited in low gears otherwise it Will distroy THE axels and differential .so if this would be done with a 480 then it would be more acurate to compare gearboxes.i Have a 470 with Allison cearbox in reallife..
Man this video’s great...🤩🤩
Was always curious.. Still not much consequence in game to using wrong engine, trans, tires, axles.. Etcc
Would love to see more use of the scales requiring proper axle counts. I remember a game years ago used to penalize you if you picked the wrong load.
I noticed myself that my truck became slower and consumed more fuel when getting from 6 to 12 speed.
ut shouldn't shorter gear ratios help it accelerating faster with more load?
the thing is that the higher gears are longer, which means it takes more power for the engine to turn the gears because there's also less torque reduction. Final Drive has a lot to do with it, your 1st gear may be much shorter, say like 14.40, but your final drive gear will probably be something like 3.25 or 3.37.
Thx bro! We want more videos in this theme/subject!😁

Yeah, though not as responsive with both steerable wheels on the ground.

You need to adjust the game setting so the gearbox will shift at max rev and not 1500rpm
There is no need for a diesel engine to hit max rpm, they produce max torque at medium revs not at high revs
@@VedantB1710 it's power that matters, not torque...
Having a lot of low end torque means that this engine produces 500hp at 1000rpm.
But the 730hp are produced at 1900rpm. By up-shifting at 1500rpm you never even reach 700hp.
@@dufonrafal no no, since diesel engine works on compression to create power rather than a spark, due to the high compression in the cylinder the materials are in constant high stress levels, if you rev it up then they experience very high stress levelss.. And diesel burns slowly as compared to petrol so yeah
@@VedantB1710 I know that, so what?
The maximum power still is at 1900rpm on this engine, not 1500rpm. I don't know of any truck driver that upshift at 1500rpm with such a heavy load.
@@dufonrafal dude
Even in race cars torque drop at most setting is halfway near the top, usually 1-2k rpm gaps
You haul heavy loads, power aint means, you need torque
When you hits redline, you use more fuel (if you turn on the fuel consumption) and risk of overheating (in real life) for basically slight to none advantages
If its power matters, why trucks have thousands of torque ?
Thank you for a clear and understandable test even without translation!
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.
Try doing a version with the Adaptive auto transmission
Dankeschön. das ist sehr aufschlussreich cool idee
The frequent shifting from the 14 speed made the truck lose some time. Imagine if the 14 speed has seamless shifts then it would outperform the 6 speed.
But think about it if it was the 12 gearbox instead of 14..?!
in real life you'll just skip gears, i do it all the time on ets, from 1 to 3 to 5 to 7, only when i want a more defined gear i use the between (midle gear, the 2,4,6,8) the 12 ofc for max speed.
True, the 14 speed is much better at keeping the engine at optimal torque, if only the shifts were seamless
It's the coughing at the end for me😂😂😂
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.

So that's why freightliner has an advantage uphill ..cos of 18 speed gearbox
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).
great film! thanks
If this game had proper physics.. the torque converter or clutch would have been on fire right now🤣
Hey bro.. It's awesome you've 1.5million views
Eso pasa cuando no saben usar la caja de cambio, en cualquiera de los dos casos para las cuestas arriba se debe hacer la reducción de velocidad para que el motor no pierda revoluciones por minutos y mantener la fuerza de torque.

@@gateausalaire1872 how?
Well tbh during my early day at ets2 I usually double shift to go faster

Well I tripple shift sometimes
Never heard about these gearboxes in european trucks,new ones are mostly automatic .Man tga i drive is 8 speed manual gearbox with how we call it halfs. Its every gear with high and low in total it is 16 speeds
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.
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.
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.
61 tons would kill the Allison gearbox uphill after a few minutes...overheating has to be added to ETS.
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
@@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.
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
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.
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.
When I saw the video image I thought it was real life comparison
There is problem in gearbox software. 14 speed gearbox is shisfting up in "economy mod" at 1500 rpm. 6 speed gearbox allows to go to 2000 rpm and at this rpm the engine has higher power. You should try manual mod of 14 speed and go to the limiter. I think, we could see different results.

Doubles Heavy Cargo Trailer?

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.

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.
Ну ее просто не выкручивали как надо. Можно идти через передачу, и все будет нормально.
3:05 Brother, how is the Double Trailer? Please reply. I really didn’t know anything 🥹🥺
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
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.
