Scania Opticruise Gearbox with Clutch Pedal
This Scania R500 is fitted with Scania Opticruise automated manual gearbox with clutch pedal.
This earlier Opticruise system uses the clutch pedal mainly for moving off, stopping, reversing and low-speed manoeuvring, while the gearbox controls gear changes through the automated Opticruise system during normal driving.
