Cutting fuel consumption is the major factor in lower operating costs. A skilful driver has the key to this in his use of the gears and gearshift system. ZF synchromesh gearboxes and double-H gear shift layouts which are used for most applications, ensure economy by encouraging careful, thoughtful driving and by making it easier to fine tune the engine speed. They also provide additional safety reserves, so important in critical situations. For many years ZF gearboxes have been the most successful in Europe, but even good things can be improved upon. Thanks to ZF technology, the ratio between gearbox size, weight and performance has been continually improved.
New short travel and double cone synchronisers have improved the shift quality of even heavy duty gear systems. And now, ZF developments in electro-pneumatic opera tion mean even easier gear changing. Automatic pre-selection ensures gear changes are made at the right time, while the ultimate in economy and safety is provided by automatic gear shifts.
The purpose of these developments is to precisely equip your vehicle for its task, to ease the driver's workload, making it easier to make savings — and more profit for you.
