• Mentor Automotive has formed a joint venture company with ZF to make and sell medium and heavy-duty transmissions for the North American truck market. The new company will be called ZF Mentor
Mentor has a range of 9, 10 and 13-speed constant-mesh boxes and Sure Shift automated mechanical boxes. ZF builds the 16-speed Eoosplit synchromesh transmissions, as well as the automated 12 and 16-speed ASTronic and torque-converter epicyclic automatics.
ZF's medium-duty transmissions will allow Mentor to compete with Eaton and Spicer products, and boost its 18% share of the US market.
Existing Mentor transmissions will definitely remain in the line-up, indicating that the constant-mesh and Sure Shift boxes have a secure future.
