Maruti Suzuki AMT or AGS Technology

Auto Gear Shift or automated manual transmission (AMT) is equipped with the Intelligent Shift Control Actuator, an electric-hydraulic actuator that automatically performs clutch and gear-shift operations. This means synchronized control over the clutch, shifting, and engine for smoother gear changes. As well as bringing together the advantages of both manual and automatic transmissions, shifting time is shortened compared to conventional automatic transmissions. 

Coupled with MSI's goal of selling two million cars annually by 2020, the company would focus on bringing these customer friendly technologies in the future, he added. After Celerio, AGS was subsequently introduced in Alto K10. Currently, AGS variants account for 25% of sales of Celerio and Alto K10 put together. AGS vehicles are popular across the country especially in in markets like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi.
