and safe to operate. Three years ago the first Ecosplit completed a million kilometres in service. When dismantled, the wearing parts gears, bearings and synchromesh systems looked as good as new, so we simply reinstalled the gears and the unit is still in use today.
Volume production has further confirmed Ecosplit reliability. It is Europe's most successful gearbox in its class.
But long life is only one of its important virtues. Simple operation of the double-H shift encourages careful and economical driving, and the close gear steps ensure optimum speed. Most importantly, ZF synchromesh makes driving safer especially in critical situationsthe vehicle is under perfect control. Now, new ZF short travel and double-cone synchronisers have perfected gear change quality so that even the largest Ecosplit changes right through the gears with ease.
