ZF made the announcement at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show, where the technology company also promised to address big industry challenges including emissions, efficiency, costs and safety.Ī company spokesperson said that the efficient PowerLine would provide a stepping stone to the zero-emissions future. The transmission’s high torque engine-driven PTO interface on both sides makes it the perfect solution for truck applications including delivery trucks, ploughs, tows, refuse trucks and other commercial vehicles including buses. PowerLine will set the benchmark standard for torque converter automatic transmissions in the North American commercial vehicle market,” said Christian Feldhaus, head of truck and van driveline technology North America for ZF. With fewer moving parts and less weight than the competition, ZF PowerLine ensures an extended life and reduced maintenance for best-in-class TCO. “ZF’s PowerLine proves equal, but in most cases, higher efficiency than other transmissions with 9 and 10 speeds. The gear spread also enables up to 30% faster acceleration compared to conventional 6-speed transmissions. The increments between gears are so small as to make the shifts barely perceptible. Made to be compact and strong, the ZF PowerLine provides best in class power-to-weight ratio. The launch is set for an unnamed major OEM in 2021. Now the German transmission giant has revealed plans for a new PowerLine – a fully automatic 8-speed transmission for medium-duty commercial vehicles. It has been on the market for 12 years and has sold more than 15 million units. ZF’s existing 8-speed automatic transmission for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles already has a proven track record.
