ZF 8HP 8-Speed Automatic Transmission – Innovation and Efficiency
What makes ZF 8HP the 8-speed automatic transmission so special?With the development of the new 8-speed automatic transmission, ZF focused on reducing fuel consumption and improving efficiency, not just the number of gears.
ZF 8HP is designed to be lighter and more flexible, setting new standards in the automotive industry. This transmission is an example of innovation and technological refinement, creating a new classic design.
ZF 8HP – One transmission, endless possibilitiesWith its unique gear concept,
ZF 8HP requires only 5 shifting elements for 4 gear sets, which significantly reduces friction losses in the transmission. With fewer multi-disc clutches and brakes compared to competing models,
ZF 8HP provides higher efficiency and reliability, thanks to innovations like the new parallel-axis vane pump.
More power and less weightZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission is suitable for a wide range of vehicles – from the lower middle class to luxury sports cars and SUV. With a torque from 220 to 1,000 Nm, this transmission is the ideal choice for rear-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles. Even though
ZF 8HP has 2 more gears than the previous model 6HP, it has up to 3% reduced weight, maintaining the same dimensions. With a total weight of 87 kg, this transmission provides an optimal engine operating mode, guaranteeing better acceleration with lower fuel consumption.
More efficiency and lower fuel consumptionThe family of
ZF 8HP is designed to meet future requirements for reducing fuel consumption and emissions of CO2. In medium and high class cars,
ZF 8HP reduces fuel consumption and emissions of CO2 by up to 3%. This makes the transmission a perfect choice for hybrid drives, while simultaneously improving features such as the automatic engine stop.
Technological innovations to minimize lossesZF 8HP 8-speed transmission is designed with a number of technological improvements:
- Reduced drag torques and engine speed to minimize power loss.
- Larger gear spread and lower system pressures.
- Multi-disc separation of the brakes for improved hydrodynamic power transmission.
ZF 8HP – Ready for the futureWith its innovative design,
ZF 8HP is prepared for the future needs of the automotive industry, including integration with 3- to 8-cylinder engines. This transmission offers unmatched efficiency and reliability, making it an ideal choice for the modern cars of tomorrow.
