The New Transmission Series 8HP Overview

The
New Transmission Series 8HP ‐ Overview
Eight Speed Automatic
The ZF 8HP transmission is another piece of EfficientDynamics. It’s about
six percent more efficient than the 6 speed auto it replaces (6hp)but it has
six percent more efficient than the 6 speed auto it replaces (6hp)but it has
some additional tricks above and beyond enhanced fuel economy.
The core of the transmission is four epicyclic gear sets and five shifting
elements That gives it eight forward speeds and reverse
elements. That gives it eight forward speeds and reverse.
The truly trick piece of this tranny is that it can accept a variety of
interfaces between the engine and tranny core As well as the usual
interfaces between the engine and tranny core. As well as the usual
torque converter It can also be equipped with an electric motor. Soon
more BMWs will
utilize the electric motor nose that will hybridize the car.
utilize the electric motor nose that will hybridize the car.
Soon bmw will release a diesel four cylinder X5 utilizing the electric motor
p y
nose of the 8HP. Expect a four cylinder F30 with that nose in the near
future.
There is also a dual‐clutch module that could possibly replace the
existing DCT.
An additional feature, from a fuel economy standpoint, is that the ZF 8HP
is the first automatic that is compatible with stop/start. We sampled
stop/start in the press preview of the X3 and came to the conclusion that
it will feel totally seamless when coupled to the hybrid (electric motor)
module.
FlexRay
This is a little known piece of gear that allows a great deal more

integration of the various vehicle electronic modules.
It is migrating down from the 7 and 5 series into the F30. It will find its way
It is migrating down from the 7 and 5 series into the F30 It will find its way
into pretty much the entire model range before 2014. The cost of
development requires that it be spread across as many units as possible.
FlexRay acts as a ‘bus of buses’, it basically is a high bandwidth bus that
interfaces to the lower bandwidth CAN buses utilized by the majority of
the vehicles electronic modules. It doesn’tt just act as an interconnect
the vehicles electronic modules. It doesn just act as an interconnect
though. It also routes priority messages between buses. One way of
grasping what FlexRay allows is to think about the communication
required between the cruise control code, ECU, and the ABS system in an

active cruise control, stop and go, system.

The 8HP gearbox is already used in BMW
The 8HP gearbox is already used in BMW'ss 760Li and

the 5 Series GT as well as the new Rolls‐Royce Ghost
Chrysler will initially import 8HP transmissions
from Europe until it finishes a $300 million
revamp of its existing transmission
manufacturing and casting facilities in
Kokomo, Ind. to produce the 8HP there,
starting in 2013.
Chrysler and German driveline and chassis component
supplier ZF have reached an agreement that will see ZF
supply and license manufacturing rights to its 8HP
eight speed automatic transmission for use in Chrysler
eight‐speed automatic transmission for use in Chrysler
vehicles, including potential application in Ram full‐size
pickups.
New gear set concept Only 5 shift elements with 4 gear sets, of which only 2 are open
in each gear. 3 multi‐disc clutches and 2 brakes, enabling a
compact, highly efficient design.
Higher overall gear ratio Overall gear ratio of 7.0. The transmission consistently adapts to
the optimum engine operating range for improved acceleration
and lower fuel consumption.
Higher power‐to‐weight
Higher power to weight ratio
ratio Lightweight components combined with a revolutionary gear set
concept: 2 additional gears transfer more torque with fewer
components and unchanged weight characteristics.
Lower drag loss and greater efficiency Only 5 shift elements with 4 gear sets, of which only 2 are open
in each gear, and a new axially parallel vane cell pump increase
the efficiency of the transmission. Energy losses are reduced to a
minimum.
