At the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, ZF presented various new technologies ranging from transmission to lightweight suspension elements. All of these new elements are already showing up in many new cars. You will find many of them illustrated in this pictorial.
This first image shows an automatic transmission with nine speeds (known as 9HP) for passenger cars with front-transverse drive. With its two model ranges, it covers a torque range between 200 and 480 Nm. Thanks to its construction kit principle; the basic transmission can be supplemented in line with special requirements. Thus, different starting elements, hybrid and all-wheel drive applications can also be implemented cost-efficiently given the restricted installation space conditions. The 9HP construction kit is designed for different starting elements, hybrid drive, a stop-start function, and all-wheel drive.
