Facts on Mercedes Gearboxes
ZF Friedrichshafen AG is a leading
worldwide supplier of driveline and chassis technology. With 122 facilities in 26
countries and approximately 55,000 employees worldwide, ZF provides gearbox components
and systems to the automotive, commercial vehicle. ZF products include: automatic
and manual transmissions for cars, trucks, buses and construction equipment; chassis
components and much more.
In the 1960s, ZF began supplying
transmissions to the major German automakers, including Mercedes and
BMW, as well as
Peugeot,
Ford and
Alfa Romeo. A popular
automatic transmission (the 3 HP 20) was introduced in 1969 which was designed to
be an easy swap with the company's manual transmissions. In 2001, ZF introduced
the world's first six-speed automatic transmission. Today, ZF produces around 1
million six-speed automatic transmissions annually. The company is also known for
its truck and bus automatic transmissions. ZF gearboxes are the among the most commonly
used in buses. Among the most popular products for buses is the Ecomat series automatic
transmission, introduced in 1980. With the rise in popularity of the semi-automatic
transmission in trucks and buses, ZF introduced the Tronic.
7G-TRONIC is Mercedes-Benz'
trademark name for its seven-speed automatic transmission. This fifth-generation
transmission was introduced in the Fall of 2003 on 8-cylinder models, and was the
first seven-speed automatic transmission ever used on a production vehicle.
The 7G-TRONIC debuted on five different eight-cylinder models: the E500, S430, S500,
CL500, and SL500. Since then, it has been applied to all eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz
models, and is also available on some six-cylinder models including the new 320
CDI engines (which uses a VTG turbo charged common rail diesel engine)
The company claims that the 7G-TRONIC can save up to 0.6 litres of fuel per 100
kilometers (depending on the car) and has shorter acceleration times and quicker
intermediate sprints than the outgoing 5-speed automatic transmission. The 7G-TRONIC
has two reverse gear ratios. The winter mode, also recently named 'comfort' mode,
starts out in 2nd forward and 2nd reverse. The transmission can skip gears when
downshifting, allowing for quicker acceleration. It also has a lockup torque converter
on all seven gears, allowing better transmission of torque for improved acceleration.
The transmission's case is made of magnesium, a first for the industry, to save
weight.
The 7G-TRONIC is the fifth-generation transmission for Mercedes-Benz. The automaker
has
produced over eleven million
automatic transmissions since 1959. About 65 percent of Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans,
wagons, and sport coupes are purchased with automatic transmissions. However, about
88 percent of Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans and wagons are purchased with automatic
transmissions, and automatic transmissions are standard on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
There is also the Mercedes-Benz
5G-TRONIC which is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic
transmission.
