Abstract
An electronic clutch for road vehicles has a clutch pedal mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis from and to a rest position; a detection device, in particular an angular position sensor, to detect the angular position of the clutch pedal around the rotation axis; and a pushing assembly, which is configured to move the clutch pedal to its rest position and normally hold it there, and is provided with a cylinder, a piston coupled to the cylinder in a sliding manner, and a pushing device interposed between the cylinder and the piston to hold an end face of the piston in contact with the clutch pedal.
