Driveline Technology in City Buses

It is the job of the city bus driver to make the trip fast and yet comfortable. On the one hand, ZF transmissions and driveline components provide for dynamic acceleration, smooth gearshifts, and very quiet running. On the other hand, with their high reliability and ease of operation, the driver can completely focus on the road. The Ecomat 6-speed automatic transmission is a good example. As a supplement to low-floor technology it is also ideally suitable for "Bus Rapid Transit" systems.
