Concepts for Commercial vehicle Drive Trains——Influence of Transmission on Consumption,Noise Level and Comfort[Abstract]The transmission has a considerable influence on fuel consumption noise level and com fort with in the vehicle d rive train
The selected examples taken from the ZF product rang show several transmission types in typical vehicle applications
The power weight ratio of current transmissions was considerably improved in all area s in comparison with previous versions
Improvements concerning noise levels and demands for higher comfort have become even more important
The fore fully automatic transmissions will achieve a larger share of the market
In the future, alternative drive train concepts such as electric wheel drives used in city buses will enhance the drive train pr
