Is the manual gear really going to be eliminated? yes. To be precise, in addition to the freight industry, manual transmission will be completely withdrawn from the historical stage. unbelief? Let's take a look at them one by one.
In the field of household cars, the proportion of automatic gears has reached more than 80%, and with the development of new energy vehicles, it is inevitable that manual transmissions will be eliminated.
In the taxi field, many people feel that the manual gear will not be eliminated, because the taxi will at least use the manual transmission, but at present, taxis in many areas have begun to change to new energy models, it is certain that the next generation of taxis will be replaced by pure electric models, because the cost is the life and death line of operating vehicles, including online car-hailing.
In the field of performance vehicles, before everyone felt that small steel cannons should be combined with manual gears to achieve the realm of human-vehicle integration, but with the emergence of electric performance vehicles, this view has been smashed, before 12 cylinders or even 16 cylinders to achieve acceleration, now two high-performance motors can be easily done, acceleration is faster than you, performance is stronger than you, but also cheaper than you, what advantages do manual high-performance cars have?
The only suspense is the freight field, which may be the most difficult area for manual transmission models to be eliminated, after all, these models have a large load capacity, and the requirements for torque and endurance are relatively high, and the current electric trucks are still difficult to meet the demand, but who can guarantee that the future fuel cell trucks will not replace the current fuel trucks?
Therefore, the elimination of manual gear can be said to be inevitable, at least in the field of household cars, the advantages of manual gear are nothing more than those clichés, what maintenance is cheap, fuel-efficient, cheap, there is driving pleasure and so on, but these advantages are gradually being overtaken.
1, said that the manual transmission is stable, maintenance costs are low. Today's wet dual-clutch transmissions are also of stable quality, not to mention AT transmissions. It is a fact that the maintenance cost of manual transmission is lower, but the gap is not large, how many people are willing to choose a manual transmission for this gap?
2, said manual transmission fuel saving, the current CVT and double clutch are quite fuel-efficient, the gap is not big, besides, you can save fuel more than hybrid fuel? Can it consume less energy than electric vehicles? Can these models use manual transmissions?
3, said that the manual transmission has driving pleasure, do you open the road as F1? In such a traffic environment in China, where do you go to feel the speed and passion? Besides, the hand-integrated gearbox can also manually switch gears, electric vehicles accelerate faster, torque comes more directly, do you have to touch the gear lever with your hand to change gears to call driving fun?
Besides, it is difficult to buy manual transmissions nowadays, only some entry-level models have manual transmissions, and mid-level cars and above models do not have manual versions. What do you say like the driving pleasure of manual transmission, to put it bluntly, you are just poor.
In fact, it can be seen from the above that the use of manual gears has become smaller and smaller, and the time left for manual transmissions is running out, and the fans of manual transmissions should cut open and cherish it.
