Economical Driving. Tailor-Made Solutions.

ZF products enjoy a good reputation among vehicle manufacturers and their customers because the life cycle costs for trucks, buses, and transporters are kept within manageable limits.

For instance:

The transmissions, designed for different requirements, achieve the maximum degree of efficiency with minimum fuel consumption. The automatic transmissions automatically adapt to the necessary torque range and are easy to operate without costly driver training.
Dual-mass flywheels allow for under-revving and fuel-saving travel and protect vibration-sensitive components by decoupling vibration.
The XTend automatic wear compensation doubles the service life of the clutch and reduces the time and cost involved in replacing the clutch by half.

Fast amortization of purchase costs using the AS Tronic as an example

The AS Tronic is so easy to operate that there is no need for driver training. Clutch replacement is eliminated and fuel consumption is significantly reduced. Thus, in a short time, the AS Tronic is clearly more economical than comparable transmissions.

Thanks to the optimized design of the pump, the latter actually delivers the truly required oil volume only and thus makes energy savings of up to 40% possible. This means reduced fuel consumption and a decrease in the vehicle’s exhaust emissions.
