Original ZF lubricant from ATS
ZF EcoFluid E — transmission oil for the electric commercial drivetrain
Electric commercial vehicles place new demands on the lubricant: lower losses, precise thermal behavior and reliable protection for compact, high-torque drive units. ZF EcoFluid E is developed for ZF electric drive systems, supporting efficiency, shift comfort and long-term reliability in electric bus, truck and special-vehicle architectures.

SAE 75W-70
28
Electric drive systems, CeTrax Lite, CX 109
Advanced transmission fluid designed specifically for heavy-duty electric vehicle drives, optimized under viscosity grade SAE 75W-70 and approved under lubricant class 28A.
Why Choose Original ZF EcoFluid E SAE 75W-70
ZF EcoFluid E SAE 75W-70 is designed for electric commercial drivetrains, where the oil must do more than lubricate: it must help manage heat, protect gears and support efficient operation.
- Electric drive systems place different demands on oil than conventional gearboxes, especially around high speed, load changes and thermal control.
- Using the original ZF fluid reduces the risk of applying a conventional gear-oil mindset to an electric-drive unit.
- For electric fleets, the right oil protects uptime: quiet operation, controlled temperature and drivetrain efficiency are all part of the business case.

FAQ
Why choose original ZF EcoFluid E SAE 75W-70?
Because electric drive systems combine mechanical load, high speed, heat and specific lubricant requirements. A conventional gear oil is not automatically suitable.
Can another oil with the same viscosity be used?
Only if it has the exact required approval for the specific ZF unit. Matching the viscosity grade alone is not enough.
What matters most during service?
The exact ZF unit, TE-ML class, oil quantity and service interval matter. Electric-drive applications should not be selected by approximation.
What to Send for Fast Compatibility Check
- Photo of the ZF e-drive nameplate or exact unit code.
- Vehicle model and the exact drive family (for example CeTrax, AxTrax or passenger-car e-drive).
- Mileage and whether the request is preventive service or repair-related.
- Previous fluid history if the unit has already been opened or serviced.
