Every coach driver deserves a light, trouble-free gearchange to smooth the journey along.
That's one reason why ZF Ecomat 4, 5 or 6 speed automatic gearboxes have microprocessor-controlled shift patterns. They can be programmed to suit engines and usage patterns, leaving drivers free to concentrate on the road. While operators naturally get more economical performance too.
Barton Transport, of Chilwell, Nottingham, have been proving the point on a fleet of ten DAF MB200 coaches over the last two years.
The coaches — all fitted with ZF Ecomat 5 HP500 Automatics — are used on everything from continental and long-distance routes, to stop-start work around Nottingham itself.
In both cases, drivers and passengers appreciate the smoother acceleration and deceleration ZF Ecomat is designed to provide.
And, in city work, there's the unique integral retarder to give stepless braking right down to walking pace. That's brake pedal operated to make a driver's life easier too.
Barton Transport specified the optional ZF automatic after consulting other users, who appreciated ZF bui quality and trouble-free reputation.
