ACT is a family of high power density transmissions.
This new transmission design removes or replaces the most inefficient elements of a conventional transmission with highly efficient gears, improving transmission efficiency in even the worst situations to over 90%.

The weight of the AbramsX is 54 short tons (49 metric tons).
