An advantage of manual transmissions
is their increased efficiency that lowers fuel consumption. Since it is compact
and lightweight, it also can control the use of materialy. Both features makes
them possible to make kinds products for an environment from the resource consumption
point of view.
With our ISO14001 certification, we at Aisin AI are working hard to help protect
the earth’s environment, both in the design of our products and the way
we produce them. |

The Auto Clutch system enables gear shifting
without stepping on the clutch and the Auto Shift Mechanism automatically shifts
gears. By adding these to a manual transmission, we can automate the clutch and
gearshift that drivers normally have to operate themselves.
A vehicle equipped with both an Auto Shift mode that detects speed and acceleration
to automatically change gears and a Manual mode that allows drivers to select
gears themselves, can let drivers choose the driving style that suites their mood.
This is a low-cost system that retains the high
efficiency and low weight of manual transmissions. (Used in Toyota’s Yaris.) |

Aisin AI's manual transmissions have equipped
the Toyota 7, a famous car in the history of Japanese motor sports, and the classic
Toyota 2000GT. It is a testament to our technological know-how that Aisin AI's
manual transmissions have been built into such legendary automobiles.
At Aisin AI, we carefully apply the knowledge gained from these successful experiences
in our R&D efforts, in order to fully develop the potential of manual transmissions.
Beginning with Japan and Europe, we will provide users the world over with the
products they demand, and pursue the potential of manual transmissions until we
are going to be the number one maker in the world. |
