October 18, 2023, China, Recently, ZF officially launched its new "Transwin" brand automatic transmission for medium and heavy-duty trucks at its transmission production base in Jiaxing.

Transwin automatic transmissions for medium and heavy-duty trucks are localized products tailored for the Chinese market based on ZF's European EcoTronic series transmission technology. This series includes two models of automatic transmissions with 9-speed and 6-speed variants, catering to different working conditions and diverse user requirements. "Transwin" expands ZF's range of automated manual transmissions (AMTs). In addition to the Transmat heavy-duty truck automatic transmission, it now extends its application to medium and heavy-duty truck models. It is suitable for various scenarios, including mid-to-long-distance transportation, refrigerated transport, urban delivery, construction vehicles, and municipal vehicles, meeting the transportation needs of the vast majority of specific segments.

As a core product in ZF's "Trans" drive system, "Transwin" inherits ZF's long-standing product advantages in transmissions. "Transwin" and "Transmat" both use ZF's latest generation software platform, and they are equipped with ZF's proprietary shift system, OptiDrive™. The shift strategy and algorithms are precise, ensuring the transmission always operates in the ideal gear within the economical range under all driving conditions. The functionality is also enhanced, offering features like crawl mode, hill-start assistance, off-road mode, intelligent protection, and more. These not only make driving easier and more comfortable but also effectively protect the transmission system, ensuring its reliability.
