Volvo Steps Up To The Dual PlateEngines and transmissions have seen a mountain of change in the last year or two, and now Volvo brings their latest innovation to the road: the dual clutch gearbox. We sent Ian Norwell to the hills of Andalucia to see how good it is. THE DAYS of the manual gearbox in heavy trucks are numbered. AMTs (automated manual transmissions) have swept all before them in the last decade, and all but a few diehards will now seek a manual box over an automated one. Now the trend has moved a step further, with the launch of a dual clutch (DC) version of Volvo’s renowned I-Shift AMT.
