cPower transmission arrives in North America

摘要

The main highlight for the ZF Off-Highway Division at the/ IFPE 2011 show will be the launch of its new cPOWER transmission into the North American construction market; focusing especially on wheeled loaders. The new cPOWER transmission is a fully powersplit transmission with a sophisticated transmission control unit and integrated onboard electronics that ensures continuously variable performance over all driving ranges. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) allows the engine to operate at generally lower speeds — independent of the vehicle's operating speed — which stabilizes the engine operation and results in improved fuel economy.
