<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;ZF Friedrichshafen AG&#039;&#039;&#039; (meaning &#039;&#039;&#039;Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen Aktiengesellschaft&#039;&#039;&#039; which was until 1992 the name of the company) is a leading supplier of [[automobile]] [[transmission (mechanics)|transmissions]]. The company was founded in 1915 in Friedrichshafen, Germany to produce gears for zeppelins and other airships but moved into the [[automobile]] market by 1918. The company helped produce the airship Hindenburg as well as truck parts for Hitler&#039;s war effort. ZF is also known for designing and, amongst other firms, manufacturing the transmissions for most German Panzers of World War II. ZF&#039;s most famous World War II-era transmissions are SSG 76 and 77 Aphon synchromesh transmissions used on tanks in the 20 tonne range. War-time transmission production also icluded the Panther tank&#039;s AK 7-200 synchromesh. After the war, the company was allowed to resume business producing automobile transmissions and other parts.<br /> <br /> In the 1960s, the company began supplying transmissions to the major German automakers, including [[DKW]] and [[BMW]], as well as [[Peugeot]] and [[Alfa Romeo]]. A popular [[automatic transmission]] (the 3 HP 20) was introduced in 1969 which was designed to be an easy swap with the company&#039;s [[manual transmission]]s. In 1972, the company acquired &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Borg-Warner]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, a major competitor. Worldwide subsidiaries and factories were opened in the 1970s, and the company moved into India, South Korea, and became a major supplier to [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] in the 1980s. The company expanded into China in the 1990s.<br /> <br /> The company is also known for its truck and bus [[automatic transmission]]s. ZF gearboxes are the among the most commonly used in buses. Among the most popular products for buses is the Ecomat series automatic transmission, introduced in 1980.<br /> <br /> With the rise in popularity of the [[semi-automatic transmission]] in trucks and buses, ZF has also introduced one of its own, named the ASTronic. <br /> <br /> Lemförder, ZF Sachs, and Boge are all divisions of ZF specializing in original equipment and after-market solutions for the auto industry.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[List of ZF transmissions]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.zf.com/defaultz.asp?lang=1 Official website]<br /> <br /> [[Category:ZF transmissions|*]]<br /> [[Category:Auto parts suppliers]]<br /> [[Category:Motor vehicle companies]]<br /> [[Category:Automotive companies of Germany]]<br /> [[Category:Automotive transmission makers]]</div>
