What’s the Difference Between Auto, Synchro, and RoadRanger Gearboxes?
When you get your HC licence, you may encounter different types of gearboxes in heavy vehicles. Here's a breakdown of the most common ones:
Automatic Gearbox: Operating just like the gearbox in a car, an automatic gearbox is simple to use. If you train in an automatic vehicle, you can drive both automatic and synchromesh manual vehicles.
Synchromesh Manual Gearbox: This manual gearbox is like the one found in modern cars. It requires pressing the clutch while shifting gears.
RoadRanger (Constant Mesh) Gearbox: This advanced gearbox is often used in larger trucks and requires skills like double-clutching and rev-matching to shift gears smoothly.
What Does an HC Licence Allow Me to Drive?
A Heavy Combination (HC) Licence allows you to operate vehicles that consist of a heavy rigid truck and a trailer. Specifically, it allows you to drive:
A truck towing a trailer greater than 9 tonnes GVM.
Articulated trucks and semi-trailers.
All vehicles covered by Light Rigid (LR), Medium Rigid (MR), and Heavy Rigid (HR) licences.
If your goal is to drive large transport vehicles, a Heavy Combination (HC) Licence is the next step after obtaining your HR or MR licence.
