The ZF 8HP transmission made its debut in 2009, and since its introduction, has been one of the top choices for international car manufacturers. BMW, one of ZF’s largest customers, uses the 8HP across its entire product portfolio. BMWs featuring the 8HP can be found in models starting with the 1 Series through the 7 Series, including the X models. The transmissions can also be found in the.

ZF products for two-wheeled vehicles are far less well known than ZF technologies for four-wheeled vehicles. ZF was the first supplier of the semi-active CDC system and changed the level of awareness for this product.

For the 8-speed automatic transmission, ZF set out to design and develop an entirely new gear set concept. The result is a revolution in transmission design: a transmission concept with 4 gearsets which requires only 5 shift elements – of which only two are open in any given gear. The 8HP also requires no more than 3 multi-disk clutches and 2 brakes, which allows it to achieve a greater degree of efficiency than other concepts. As a result of the fact that only 2 shift elements are open per gear, drag losses in the transmission are sustainably reduced. This effect is supported by the use of a new parallel-axis vane-type oil pump. 4 A torque range from 300 to 1000 newton meter makes the 8HP the perfect partner for all rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive designs. From the lower midsize segment to sporty luxury cars, and in every type of SUV and offroad vehicle – its revolutionary design is always an efficient and economical solution. Although the 8HP features 2 more speeds than the extremely successful 6HP, the dimensions have remained unchanged and the weight was even reduced by 3% to 87 kg (transmission modular system 8HP70) including oil. At the same time, the total transmission ratio spread of 7.0 ensures that the engine is always in its optimum operating range. This translates into improved acceleration and reduced fuel consumption.

Based on a really successful product, it combines dynamics and comfort with improved efficiency – also with regard to the costs. And it is ideally equipped for even stricter fuel consumption and CO2 emission regulations. In the premium and mid-size car range, the optimized 8HP product family enables the average fuel consumption to be cut by another 3%. CO2 emissions decrease to the same extent. These potentials can also be completely transferred to hybrid drives. Incidentally, additional savings potential by a further optimized startstop function is not yet included here. To achieve these innovations, ZF engineers have optimized some details. Thus, the reduction of drag torques and engine speeds further reduced the already very low power losses. Essential success aspects are the higher transmission ratio spread and the reduction of system pressures in many areas. Another factor is the multidisk separation of the brakes. Furthermore, advanced torsional vibration dampers enable a faster bypassing of the hydrodynamic power transmission and therefore further reduction in speed. Thus, the new 8HP is perfectly prepared for use with the new engines (3-8 cylinders) which will determine the trend of the years-to-come.
ZF's modular kit provides solutions for the entire range of hybrid vehicles – covering everything from individual component through to the entire system: starting with the mild hybrid, that already supports a host of hybrid functions, the lineup extends to the full and plug-in hybrid systems, which feature highly powerful electric motors and suitable power storage devices, putting them on a par with the all-electric range and speed of pure electric vehicles. A hybrid-capable basic transmission based on the triedand-trusted, volume production 8-speed automatic transmission 8HP forms the basis for ZF's modular hybrid kit. ZF supplies electric motors in various output ratings – depending on the hybrid application. This lineup is highly compelling for automotive manufacturers looking specifically for components for their custom solutions rather than an entire hybrid system including transmission.

The best of both worlds: Plug-in hybrids combine the range of a combustion engine with a locally emission-free electric drive. ZF has developed a plug-in complete system for this drive configuration that sets a new benchmark in terms of all-electric range and speed compared with existing full-hybrid systems. Ranges of up to 50 kilometers and a top speed of 120 km/h in all-electric mode: ZF's highly integrated plug-in hybrid transmission enables hybrid vehicles to operate like pure electric cars. All thanks to a highly integrated complete system in which the transmission, hybrid module, and power electronics are perfectly matched to each other. At the heart of the hybrid drive is the electric motor that boasts peak output of 90 kilowatt and torque of up 250 newton meter.
