CORBETTA, Italy – The Indian automotive magazine Overdrive and CNBC-TV18 television network presented the “Technology of the Year 2015” award to Magneti Marelli for its Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) Technology.
Established in 2000, the CNBC-TV 18 Overdrive Award has been acknowledging technological and product excellence in the Indian and international automotive industry and is the only recognition held in association with the major Indian automotive industry bodies: Confederation of Indian Industry, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India.
The Magneti Marelli Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) technology was selected for the award following great market success obtained in 2014 in India. The AMT represents, both from the consumer’s point of view and from the perspective of the car maker, an example of a technological value-added solution but at affordable cost, which, by automating a manual gearbox with an electro-hydraulic “add-on” device, combines comfort in driving, consumption and emissions optimization, and containment of industrial costs.
