Original ZF lubricant from ATS
ZF EcoFluid XE — protection and efficiency for heavy electric axles
ZF EcoFluid XE is made for electric commercial-vehicle axle drives where torque is immediate, temperatures are demanding and efficiency directly affects operating range. Its formulation supports the protection of gears and bearings while helping electric driveline systems operate with the reliability expected from ZF fleet applications.
SAE 75W-85
28
Electric drive systems for city buses including wheel head transmissions with introduct…, Grease-lubricated compact bearing (hub unit) in wheel head transmissions or wheel heads, AxTrax AVE (AVE 130), AX 217, AX 219, AxTrax 2, AxTrax 2 dual, AxTrax 2 LF, AxTrax AVE (AVE 130)
High-performance e-drive transmission fluid with a viscosity grade of SAE 75W-85, classified under class 28C, developed to meet the highly specialized robustness requirements of city bus axle drives like the AxTrax AVE.
Why Choose Original ZF EcoFluid XE SAE 75W-85
ZF EcoFluid XE SAE 75W-85 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 axles combine immediate torque, heavy load and frequent duty cycles, making the correct lubricant part of the reliability strategy.
- 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 XE SAE 75W-85?
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.
