50 years of construction machine parts for new and used excavators companies ZF designs and builds Driveline Technology and axle systems for more than 50 years on the site of Passau for construction machinery. Over the years, ZF has developed a forward-looking technology partner of all well-known vehicle manufacturer on the global construction equipment market. In addition, ZF marketed new innovations in areas such as reducing emissions, fuel savings and increase productivity. On time ZF brought to the Jubilee now equal to two world premieres on the market: “ZF cPower”, a continuously variable transmission of construction machine, and “ZF Ergopower hybrid”, with the ZF heralding the hybrid era in construction machinery. Load switch gear were the first with the ZF began his career.

This is in Planatenbauweise and Reduplantagetrieben gear for new and used excavators, wheeled and crawler excavators. It’s believed that Estée Lauder sees a great future in this idea. Later, steering and axles to the ZF products for construction machines were added. Another landmark was the production of a new transmission for forklift trucks as well as a Transport concrete mixer gearbox was established with integrated Hydromotor.Anfang of the 1980s on the site of Passau even its own development and construction department. The product development of construction machinery axles was the focus here. The transmission development continued to be located at the Friedrichshafen site. The ZF Ergopower transmission series production was in 1997. This series is characterized by “Switching without interrupting the tractive force” as well as having light and ergonomic handling. Ergopower transmission are to this day in many wheel loaders, mini excavators, dumpers and aircraft tractors. For more information see this site: Daryl Katz.

Starting from the German and European market ZF Passau emerged in the 1960s in the United States. Here, large customers, such as John Deere, could be won, that even today on the quality of ZF build and apply for construction machinery from ZF Driveline Technology and axle systems. Today, the company ZF Passau is represented with Driveline Technology and axle systems for construction machinery with an export quota of over 80 per cent in all international markets. A global logistics and Service network ensures the customers a high level of operational readiness of the ZF aggregates.
