ZF 16 S 2221
Hino 700 Series AMT heavy-duty trucks are imported from Japan, and fitted with the 16-speed mechanical auto synchromesh ZF16 transmission with power assistance, making it easier to shift gears at higher speeds.

It also helps to reduce driver fatigue from constant gear and clutch shifting, allowing for a more comfortable drive.

Drivers are also given the option to select a sequential manual transmission for on-demand shifting conditions.

Fleet operators also benefit from lower operational costs through lower fuel consumption and clutch replacement cost.

ZF AS Tronic mid transmission

Job done: replaced cracked belhousing

About ZF AS Tronic mid transmission:
As the name suggests, the AS-Tronic mid is a halfway house between the full and lite versions both in terms of size and output.

It comes with an ‘all-purpose’ remit but is primarily installed in medium-sized trucks and other mid-duty commercial vehicles. It is preferred by coach companies and transit companies because the AS-Tronic mid can handle both the long-haul open throttle and the stop-start shifting of city centres.

It’s also popular for fleet managers who crave flexibility in their delivery schedules and drivers who value a vehicle which goes and goes and goes.

Just like its brothers, the AS-Tronic mid is a safe and economical transmission which keeps both driver and vehicle protected at all times while on the road.

Advantages of the AS-Tronic mid

Fully automatic transmission with possibility of switching to manual

Quick shifting between 12-step gearbox

Comfortable and safe for the driver

Less clutch wear from gear grinding
Saves fuel in any driving conditions

The AS-Tronic mid has the same number of gears as the full AS-Tronic (AS-Tronic lite has 6) transmission meaning that power can be applied most efficiently under any driving conditions.

This reduces fuel consumption and relieves some of the pressure on the clutch meaning less overall wear. Electronic controls reduce driver shifting errors again leading to better fuel consumption and less wear. These electronics work even when the unit is in manual mode.

Reliability
The AS-Tronic mid is a popular and reliable transmission system.

In the past we have seen some persistent problems with certain models of the AS-Tronic mid which are not as common in the bigger AS Tronic

ZF S5-42 & S5-47 Manual Transmission
ZF 5 Speed Transmission Specs & Ratios

The ZF 5 speed replaced the four speed BorgWarner T-19 in Ford diesel applications. The transmission can be found behind 6.9L/7.3L IDI and 7.3L Power Stroke diesels through the 1997 model year, although 6.9L applications are relatively rare and limited to the engine's final production year. The transmission is relatively reliable, although the hydraulic clutch system has been a common source of problems that include gear grinding and rough engagements. The ZF S5-42 was used on 1987 to 1994 model year pickups, while the stronger S5-47 was introduced for the 1995 model year. Both transmission models are extremely similar, with only subtle changes that gives the S5-47 a slightly higher input torque rating. The ZF 5speed transmission can also be found on the MAN 8.163 truck, MERCEDES-BENZ ATEGO 815 truck and DAF LF 45 160. Visit our work shop for service and repair work. Or call us on +263777608573
