ZF further implements localization strategy
At present, the 8HP made by ZF has won orders from many domestic auto manufacturers. Shanghai ZF Transmissions Co., Ltd.

ZFTS's production line specifically for 8HP has been put into operation in the first quarter of this year, providing high-quality 8-speed automatic transmissions for many domestic customers; the designed production capacity is 400,000 sets per year.
The mature application of ZF 8HP technology can greatly reduce the energy consumption loss of the transmission system, and can meet the needs of light weight, miniaturization, energy saving and emission reduction in the Chinese automotive market. In addition, 8HP's modular components are suitable for a variety of torque ranges, not only for traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, but also for hybrid models, and have good compatibility with standard all-wheel drive and start-stop functions. Such localization measures will further enhance ZF's market competitiveness in China and will change the competitive situation of China's multi-speed high-end automatic transmissions.
