Renault Quickshift6 for Trafic and Master vans

Renault has introduced an automated manual transmission for Trafic and Master vans fitted with the 2.5-litre dCi engine. Quick-shift6 uses the standard six-speed gearbox, but without a clutch pedal; a computer-controlled system works the clutch and gears.
The gearbox can be used as an automatic or manual, with the driver pushing a servo lever forwards for upchanges and back for downshifts. Changing up can be done without lifting off the throttle and on downshifts the computer raises the engine revs to match the gearbox.
Two additional modes are available. The 'kg' mode is designed for working with a load; holding the gears longer allows for acceleration at full payload. Snow mode is for slippery conditions, putting the transmission into automatic and limiting wheelspin.
Renault said the system can reduce fuel consumption by up to 8% on Master vans and up to 10% for Trafic drivers.
