RSM PowerShift automatic transmission is now under bench-run tests.
It's the Russia's first-ever Powershift transmission for heavy tractors with the power of 440-620 hp. No transmissions of that type have been manufactured in Russia until now. There are only 5 internationally renowned companies producing high-quality high-tech automatic transmissions nowadays.
"RSM PowerShift has been developed and put into production in Russia", emphasizes Maltsev Valery, the Company's CEO.
This is a breakthrough project for Rostselmash which is expected to strengthen the technological sovereignty of both the company and the industry in general.
The driveline has a number of structural features that set it apart from foreign counterparts. For example, 3000 tractors have a built-in parking brake with hydraulic control which offers broader functionality of the system, automatic transmission control and tractor in general.
RSM PowerShift is well distinguished by high performance and excellent power transfer from engine which ensures optimal implementation of the pulling ability, power shifting without the power loss. The transmission system has 16 forward / 4 reverse gears with a multi-plate clutch, including 9 operating gears from 7 to 20 km/h, ensuring the speed of up to 40 km/h. It can operate in the forced and automatic control modes.
The RSM PowerShift is now under bench-run tests. In 2025, the driveline is to undergo field tests on 3000 tractors – Rostselmash 3002 4WD.
PowerShift 440-620 hp automatic transmission is not the only model of automatic transmissions offered by Rostselmash. Nowadays, design engineers are working on several more models for classic and articulated tractors with the power ranging from 170 to 600+ hp.
