8HP45

The automatic transmission ZF8HP45 with the longitudinal arrangement was manufactured as an updated version of automatic transmissions ZF6HP21, ZF6HP32.

The pilot prototype was designed in 2008 and after a short run-in on the BMW of 7-th series, ZF8HP became widely used on vehicles with a maximum torque of 450 Nm for gasoline engines (ZF8HP45) and 700 Nm for ZF8HP70 for BMW diesel engines. According to the abovementioned data, the numbers 45 and 70 in the name of the automatic transmission mean the index of maximum torque sent by the transmission.

In subsequent years ZF increased its range of automatic transmissions related to this family from ZF8HP23 for the class "mini" with 1.6 engines to ZF8HP90 for cars with engine capacity equal to 6-liters. Achievements of these automatic transmissions exceeded all expectations and resulted in a lot of praising responses, and childhood illnesses were extremely quickly corrected, unnoticed for the repair of automatic transmissions.
