We get you back on the road

ZF Tradition is committed to preserving its historic automotive heritage.

ZF has a company history of over a hundred years, during which countless vehicles have been equipped with ZF technology. Wherever possible, ZF Tradition would like to support the owners of historic vehicles with ZF products and those active in historic motorsport so that they can continue to use their vehicles successfully on the road or the race tracks. To this end, spare parts are available on request and even some complete exchange transmissions can be ordered.
