The ZF 8HP transmission is ZF Friedrichshafen AG's trademark name for its 8-speed automatic transmission models for longitudinal engine applications. The name is short for 8-speed transmission with hydraulic converter and planetary gearsets. Designed and first built by ZF's subsidiary in Saarbrücken, Germany, it debuted in 2008 on the BMW 7 Series (F01) 760Li sedan fitted with the V12 engine. BMW remains a major customer for the transmission.
Another major customer is Stellantis, who both received a license to produce the transmission and set up a joint-venture plant with ZF. Stellantis has built the transmission at its Kokomo Transmission plant since 2013 under their own brand name, the Torqueflite 8.[1] [2] The joint venture plant in Gray Court, South Carolina opened in 2012.[3]
One of the main aims of the ZF 8HP transmission is to improve vehicle fuel economy with extra speeds. Compared to the six-speed ZF 6HP transmission it uses 12 % less fuel, and 14 % less than a 5-speed transmission.[4] [5] Due to changes in internal design, the shift times have reduced to 200 milliseconds; additionally, the unit brings the ability to shift in a non-sequential manner – going from gear 8 to gear 2 in extreme situations.[6] In the 8HP 70 version, it has a torque handling limit of 700Nm, and weighs 87kg (192lb).[7]
First generation 8HP products were released starting in 2010. In addition to the rear-wheel drive variant, two different four-wheel drive versions were available, with a version destined for Volkswagen Group applications using a Torsen centre differential.[8] It is able to encompass a torque range from 300Nm to 1000Nm, and is available for use in middle-class cars through to large luxury sport utility vehicles.
Second generation 8HP products were released starting in 2014. Efficiency improvements over the original design and the first generation include a wider ratio spread of 7.81, reduced drag torque from the shift elements, reduction in required oil pump pressure, and broadened use of the coasting and start-stop systems.[9] ZF estimated fuel economy improvement over first generation 8HP kits to be 3 %. Refinements were also made with respect to vibration.
Third generation 8HP products were released starting in 2018. Major improvements are total spread of 8.59 and a fuel economy improvement of 2.5 % compared to the second generation. There are several options in maximum torque available, also the gearbox is available with mild hybrid and plug in hybrid options: With 15kW and 200Nm supporting boosting and recuperation in combination with 48 Volt technology up to 90kW and 250Nm for usage with higher voltage.[10]
