Automatic Manual Transmission (AMT) is a type of automatic sequential manual transmission. Offered by Renault Group's Dacia under the Easy-R name it is founded on electro-mechanical rather than hydraulic technology. Easy-R automated transmission uses a traditional manual gearbox with an electronically controlled clutch and eliminates the need for a clutch pedal.
Easy-R is available in the Logan, Logan MCV, and Sandero models. It is also available on Indian market for Duster and Renault Kwid.

Operation
The Easy-R transmission has the following gears: R, N, D, M+, M-
- R is the reverse gear. It is similar to R in both traditional manual and in full automatic cars;
 - N is the neutral gear. It is similar to N in both traditional manual and full automatic;
 - D is the drive gear. It is equivalent of D in a full automatic. The gearbox in an AMT car is a manual gearbox, instead of one with a torque converter as in a traditional automatic;
 - M- downshifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M5 (M6 in 6-speed AMT cars) to M1;
 - M+ up-shifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M1 to M5 (M6 in 6-speed AMT cars).
