Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On modern heavy vehicles, the gearboxes are fully synchronized, so the double-clutching technique has become completely inadvisable and obsolete. Using it forces you to accelerate in neutral, which notably increases fuel consumption and causes premature and unnecessary mechanical wear on the clutch disc and mechanisms. Likewise, within the principles of efficient driving, it is allowed and even advisable to skip gears (both up and down) provided that engine speed, load and the terrain make it appropriate.
