ACE have better⛽️efficiency than old type of engines, and it's a smaller engine overall, and generates more power

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%.
