ZF has won the Best Brand award in the Commercial Vehicle Transmissions category at the 2022 ETM Awards.

“The remarkable success of ZF’s advanced transmission products, powerfully reflects the trust of vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, and drivers alike,” said Winfried Gründler, responsible for Driveline Systems with ZF’s Commercial Vehicle Solutions division. “This prestigious award is testament to our relentless innovation to develop ever more efficient and robust driveline technology.”

ZF’s TraXon automatic transmission system continued to be a decisive factor in the Group’s unbroken record at the ETM Awards. The Group recently announced that half a million TraXon systems had been manufactured in Friedrichshafen alone since production began there in 2014.

With proven durability, performance and fuel-efficiency, TraXon is equipped with several transmission functions, including ZF’s PreVision GPS predictive shift strategy. For passenger transport, ZF’s EcoLife automatic transmission supports all daily city bus operations while its second generation EcoLife Coachline transmission has been specifically designed for coaches.

Sponsored by publisher ETM, the annual readers’ poll is widely recognised across the commercial vehicle industry as a strong barometer of a company’s image and its product quality. Forming a formidable industry-wide judging panel, the readers of magazines lastauto omnibus, trans aktuell and FERNFAHRER cast a total of over 5978 votes across several vehicle and product categories.
