The invention belongs to the field of electric automobile gearboxes and relates to a multi-gear gearbox and a control method thereof. The gearbox comprises a shifting mechanism and an executing mechanism, wherein the shifting mechanism comprises a first shifting motor, a first roller screw rod, a first shifting block, a first shifting shaft, a first sensor, a first guide shoe, a first and second gear shifting yoke, a first shifting yoke shaft, a second shifting motor, a second roller screw rod, a second shifting block, a second shifting shaft, a second sensor, a second guide shoe, a third and fourth gear shifting yoke, and a second shifting yoke shaft. The electric shifting mechanism and the executing mechanism are adopted, and two sets of independent motors and roller screw rod mechanisms are respectively used for shifting executing action of first gear and second gear as well as third gear and fourth gear, and shift selecting operation in a conventional AMT gearbox is cancelled; the multi-gear gearbox disclosed by the invention has the advantages of being simple in structure, high in control accuracy, high in response speed, and convenient to disassemble, assemble and maintain. According to the method disclosed by the invention, shift selection and shifting are automatic shifting controlled by a TCU automatic gearbox control unit without being controlled manually.
