The result of stable production processes and exacting quality requirements: The "coupling legend", ZF's AS Tronic, the automatic transmission system for heavy commercial vehicles, has achieved a landmark figure over the past few days. One million units have come off the production line at the ZF location in Friedrichshafen since production got underway in 1997.
"For almost two decades, commercial vehicle manufacturers around the globe have been relying on ZF's AS Tronic transmission range when it comes to automatic gear shifting," explains Fredrik Staedtler, head of ZF's Commercial Vehicle Technology division based in Friedrichshafen. "It is considered a milestone in drive development and has meanwhile become indispensable in modern-day commercial transport."
