ECCOM CVT – transmission for tractors in the power range up to 620 hp
CVT Technology from ZF – Precision and efficiency for agricultural equipment
Although agricultural machines look massive and heavy, they must apply their power precisely and controllably. ZF drive technology provides the necessary sensitivity for these requirements. Almost all leading tractor manufacturers use continuously variable transmissions (CVT) from ZF, known for their reliability, efficiency, and ease of operation.
Smooth movement and better control
With the help of ZF CVT transmissions, tractor workflows proceed more smoothly, providing more accurate control over movement. Since manual gear changes are not required, the power losses characteristic of traditional transmissions are avoided. The system automatically shifts between four driving ranges with outstanding efficiency, covering speeds from 0 to 60 km/h without stepped shifts.
Increased safety and ease of operation
Agricultural producers experience the benefits of CVT technology especially on difficult terrain or slopes – the machine can start and stop without using the clutch or brake. This practically eliminates the possibility of operator error and allows the driver to concentrate entirely on the workflow.
Economic efficiency in large-scale agricultural work
ZF continuously variable transmissions are distinguished by optimal utilization of engine power, ensuring maximum productivity with minimum fuel consumption. Thanks to their compact and modular design, they integrate easily into various agricultural machine configurations.
ZF TERRACOM – Intelligent Condition Monitoring
ZF TERRACOM uses the modern sensor infrastructure of vehicles and transaxles to monitor system behavior and load in real-time. This allows predicting possible failures and taking timely actions.
Key goals of ZF TERRACOM:
Reducing downtime during accidents and breakdowns
Improving engineering knowledge for future developments
Optimizing warranty processes and transparency in diagnostics
Supporting the service market with clear and timely information
TERRA+ – Integrated generator systems for tractors with CVT transmission
TERRA+ is a highly efficient generator system (high and low voltage) integrated into the transmission housing. Engine energy is converted into electricity and can be used directly by the implement or the tractor.
Key advantages:
Up to 5% fuel savings by managing electrical consumers as needed
Increased productivity and traction
Reduced CO₂ emissions
Up to 80 kW continuous electrical power
Minimal impact on the machine’s existing architecture
Possibility for transmission downsizing
