" Eco Gearboxes " .. and transmissions designed for efficiency

"Eco" in the context of a gearbox can refer to several things, including specific gearbox types designed for efficiency, or "eco mode" settings in automatic transmissions that prioritize fuel savings. It can also refer to gearbox oils designed to reduce friction and improve fuel economy ...

 

Here's a breakdown of the different contexts:

1. Eco Gearboxes (e.g., DynaGear Eco):

·        These are gearboxes, often hypoid bevel gearboxes, designed to be cost-effective and efficient.

·        They often feature a compact and rigid design, high efficiency (up to 96%), and are lubricated for life.

·        Examples include the DynaGear Eco series, which can be found with solid or hollow shafts and used in various applications. 

2. Eco Mode in Automatic Transmissions:

·        Many modern automatic transmissions offer an "eco mode" that alters shifting patterns to prioritize fuel efficiency.

·        This often involves upshifting earlier to lower engine RPMs and reduce fuel consumption.

·        In some cases, eco mode may also limit downshifting even under heavy acceleration (wide open throttle) until the engine reaches a lower RPM. 

3. Gearbox Oils (e.g., 18000ECO):

·        Some gearbox oils are specifically formulated with low-friction properties to improve fuel economy.

·        For example, MPM 18000ECO is a synthetic 75W-80 gear oil designed for commercial vehicles that aims to reduce friction and improve MPG. 

4. Eco Torque (Gearbox Specialists):

·        Eco Torque is a company specializing in gearbox repairs and replacements. 

·        They focus on repairing gearboxes where possible and offer competitive pricing, even compared to main dealerships. 

·        Eco Torque also provides diagnostics and has experience with various gearbox types, including DSG and S-Tronic
