Gearbox Transmissions

  • ZF is a leading manufacturer of automatic transmissions used in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Their automatic gearboxes are known for their precision and high-performance capabilities. ZF automatic transmissions are generally equipped with a torque converter, which transfers engine power to the gearbox, allowing for smooth shifting without the need for a manual clutch.

  • A CVT represents a significant departure from traditional automatic transmissions by utilizing an entirely different method of controlling engine power. Unlike gear-based transmissions, which use fixed gears to provide specific ratios, CVTs provide a smooth, infinite range of gear ratios. This allows the engine to operate at its most efficient RPM for a wide variety of driving conditions.

    The core components of a CVT include two pulleys and a belt or chain. One pulley is connected to the engine, and the other to the driveshaft that powers the wheels. These pulleys can change their diameter, which in turn changes the tension on the belt or chain connecting them. As the diameter of the pulleys adjusts, the effective gear ratio changes continuously, hence the term "continuously variable." This results in the engine running at optimal RPMs, regardless of speed, providing seamless acceleration and improved fuel efficiency.

  • While not directly related to traditional automatics, it’s important to mention dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs) in the context of modern automatic transmission technology. A DCT combines the best elements of both manual and automatic transmissions. Like a manual transmission, it uses two clutches, but unlike a traditional manual, the DCT is fully automated.
