List of ZF transmissions

ZF Friedrichshafen AG is a German technology manufacturing company that supplies systems, in particular transmissions for all kind of passenger cars and SUVs, light commercial vehicles such as vans and light trucks, as well as all types of heavy and special vehicles like trucks and buses.

Basically there are two types of motor vehicle transmissions:

• Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change using a manually operated clutch
• Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load

Basically there are two types of engine installation:

• In the longitudinal direction, the gearbox is usually designed separately from the final drive (including the differential). The transaxle configuration combines the gearbox and final drive in one housing and is only built in individual cases
• In the transverse direction, the gearbox and final drive are very often combined in one housing due to the much more restricted space available

Every type of transmission occurs in every type of installation.

Differences in gear ratios have a measurable, direct impact on vehicle dynamics, performance, waste emissions as well as fuel mileage plus 1 reverse gear (unless otherwise specified) Total Ratio Span (Total Ratio Spread · Total Gear Ratio) ${\displaystyle {\tfrac {i_{n}}{i_{1}}}}$ A wider span enables the downspeeding when driving outside the city limits increase the climbing ability when driving over mountain passes or off-road or when towing a trailer Average Gear Step ${\displaystyle ({\tfrac {i_{n}}{i_{1}}})^{\tfrac {1}{n-1}}}$ With decreasing step width the gears connect better to each other shifting comfort increases Ratio Span's Center ${\displaystyle (i_{n}i_{1})^{\tfrac {1}{2}}}$ The center indicates the speed level of the transmission Together with the final drive ratio it gives the shaft speed level of the vehicle P: parallel (using the two degrees of freedom of planetary gearsets to increase the number of gears) · S: serial Epicyclic gearing (unless otherwise specified) Automatic Powershift Transmission for Trucks[49] higher torque on demand[50] Automatic Powershift Transmission for Special Vehicles[51][52]
