“The first six gears with their compact gradation optimizes acceleration to top speed. Jürgen Greiner, head of development for passenger car transmissions at ZF Friedrichshafen AG, said: “In the new 8DT sports transmission, we combine blazing-fast shifts, a great level of efficiency and all-electric driving with the flexibility to integrate different variants within a tight installation space – without compromise.” The new transmission is manufactured at the Brandenburg plant and volume production of vehicles featuring the 8DT began with the Porsche Panamera.ĭr.
ZF said that a major development goal was to make electric power an option for this transmission: thanks to a new gear set design, it was possible to integrate a 100 kW hybrid module without increasing the length of the transmission, as compared to the current 7DT sports transmission.Īnother goal was an integrated all-wheel distribution option, driving the front axle in the most fuel-efficient manner possible using a hang-on clutch. The new sports transmission, for rear-wheel and all-wheel drives, boasts rapid shift times, high levels of efficiency and flexibility.
