ZF starts production of dual-clutch 8-speed gearbox

ZF Friedrichshafen AG, the famous automotive component manufacturer from Germany, has officially started production of an all-new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission unit.

This new transmission, named 8DT, will be manufactured at the company’s production facility in Brandenburg, Germany. The company is reportedly putting in more than 100 million Euros for the production of the new 8-speed transmission.

Engineers at ZF and Porsche have collectively developed a hybrid transmission modular kit, which is based on the new dual clutch transmission. This particular modular kit will be compatible with both standard and all-wheel drive systems.
