ZF tests automatic transmission system

摘要

The ZF AS Tronic mid automatic transmission system is normally used for heavy-duty trucks, coaches and mobile cranes the company stated. But it is also possible to apply many of the features of the transmission family to other types of vehicles. Terminal tractors, for example, are equipped with a smaller transmission model, the AS Tronic mid. Hundreds of terminal tractors are used in container ports and terminals all over the world. Their job is it to move the boxes between ship, storage areas and onto other transport vehicles. However, these vehicles often have idle times, are deployed in multi-shift operation and led by various drivers with different levels of experience. This requires an automatic transmission that is robust, easy to handle and fuel-efficient. ZF AS Tronic mid bundles these features and additionally improves vehicle productivity and efficiency ZF says.
