Voith SensoTop

SensoTop is an acceleration and topography-dependent shift strategy that is based on the acceleration-dependent shift program BASP and complemented by the road surface inclination detection.

The task of SensoTop is to achieve optimal shift points for every driving situation. The driving situation is influenced by the load, road surface inclination (topography) and the driver's performance requirement. The shift points are calculated individually for each shifting operation depending on the set characteristic curve between ECO (0%) and POWER (100%).

SensoTop - General information

Always defines lower shifting speeds than BASP

Permits higher speeds (= higher performance) only if the performance is required (uphill)

Reduces the performance where it is not required (downhill)

Reduces the average performance

Makes better use of the acceleration dependence logic by means of dynamic vehicle evaluation

SensoTop ECO

Low engine speeds and high gears are always used. Early upshifts to achieve high gears are desired.

Vehicle remains longer in a gear until downshift is initiated.

SensoTop POWER

Requires higher performance and quicker response of a vehicle.

Requires early downshifts, especially in uphill sections, in order to provide the required performance quickly on the driveline.
