New Development - TransmissionCustomer RequirementsThe transmission is playing a key role to satisfy the demand for higher vehicle efficiency, performance and better operators comfort. Challenging design targets of low losses, high reliability, low noise, comfortable ride and smooth gear shifting, require intelligent creative concepts.
In a modern design, electronics are used for control and service purposes and increasingly gearboxes are integrated in the vehicle management system. At the same time the mechanical part is refined to provide increased efficiency.
