Abstract

A robotized gear change for motor vehicles, and in particular motor vehicles for disabled persons, configured for implementing a plurality of operating modes that can be selected by the driver via a manually operable hand or foot selection device, in which first operating modes associated with the automatic gear-change mode can be selected when the vehicle is stationary and a brake pedal is depressed, and in second operating modes corresponding to the level of performance of the engine, and hence the vehicle, can be selected by the driver when the vehicle is moving.
