    Shift Energy Management: Making The Best Transmission Perform Even Better

    Uploaded by

    Jorge Reyes Aguilar
    This document summarizes Shift Energy Management (SEM) from Allison Transmission, which optimizes the integration between engines and transmissions. SEM momentarily reduces engine torque during gear shifts to provide smoother, faster, and more consistent shifting. This improves fuel economy and powertrain durability. SEM also allows the use of higher torque engines without increasing transmission size, reducing vehicle weight. As regulations increase, SEM will continue to provide cooperative capabilities between engines and transmissions.

    SHIFT ENERGY MANAGEMENT


    Allisons Shift Energy Management (SEM) provides better engine/transmission integration to optimize the entire driveline system. The result is faster, smoother, more consistent shift quality, increased powertrain durability, improved performance and an overall more efficient vehicle operation leading to greater fuel economy.
    HOW SEM WORKS
    During shift operation, SEM begins when the transmission control module (TCM) electronically requests the engines electronic control unit (ECU) to momentarily reduce engine torque. The engines ECU acknowledges the command and cuts torque as requested. As the shift is completed, the TCM requests the ECU to ramp engine torque back to the desired level. This process is completed quickly and seamlessly.

    ADDED BENEFITS
    SEM also provides better acceleration and helps carry loads more efficiently because of the higher torque engines that can be used with SEM equipped Allison automatic transmissions. In applications where SEM allows for the use of higher torque engines than otherwise permitted, specing a bigger engine doesnt mean specing a bigger transmission too. This allows vehicle weight to be reduced without sacrificing performance and durability.

    DOWN THE ROAD


    As medium- and heavy-duty powertrains become even more integrated and subject to increased emissions and regulatory measures and to increasing fuel efficiency demands, Allisons SEM will continue to be a valuable asset in providing even more transmission and engine cooperative capabilities.

    WHAT IT DOES
    By maintaining a nearly constant torque output from the transmission during range upshifts, a SEM range upshift produces less stress on driveline components. And, it reduces the amount of clutch energy during shifts, resulting in less heat and more efficient operation. This not only improves transmission durability and overall performance, it contributes to the entire vehicles fuel economy.
