The ZF gearbox

[@BritishRail60062]

The video alone show why many bus fans including myself like the ZF sounds the most. I do like the Voith Tridents but of the two. ZF wins hands down ;). Great video by the way.

[@itsshalevfromtaxidashcamer9390]

Perfect video! In Israel, on every Volvo B8R or B7R had a ZF Ecolife.

[@lebusraconte3040]

Les boîtes ZF 5 HP sont les préférées. Merci beaucoup ! Bien à vous ! 🍀🚇🍀🏆🍀🚇🍀💫

[@DaleSteel]

As an operator I can tell you that we prefer the voith gearboxes. They are much more reliable however more expensive.

[@MidlandsbusEnthusiast]

That dennis dominator, WOW!!

[@stagecoachlondonbusenthusi1291]

I waited so llong for this

[@georgegreenoshine]

Me to haha

[@stagecoachlondonbusenthusi1291]

+The295 2A lol

[@theoriginalgamerhd6477]

U can't get much thrash out of an n230ud/n270ud omnicity because it just growls when the gear changes

[@itzmxrkomg]

When you going to do Allison?

[@HastingsBuses]

Great informative video George! Ignore some of the idiots who are jealous they can't compose a video as good as you :-)

[@georgegreenoshine]

thanks dude :)

[@DanielsUKT]

Awesome video

[@Ruppercik]

You are counting the gears wrong. 2'nd gear is at 0:20, then 3'rd at 0:22 and so on.

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

The ZF gearbox has a weird type of way of changing gears. Here's the order, 1st unlocked gear, 1st locked gear, 2nd unlocked gear, 3rd mechanical gear, 4th gear and 5th gear. That's the order where the bus is driving off with a ZF Ecomat gearbox.

[@theoriginalgamerhd6477]

East London is filled with growling N230ud Scania omnicities DD

[@theoriginalgamerhd6477]

Hearing an enviro 400 climb a hill is so funny

[@xej147]

TheOriginalGamerHD i know lol

[@sleeky7296]

ZF is german and means Zahnradfabrik Friederichshafen /Gearfactory Friedrichshafen

[@29momix]

The SN15LNK hasn't really got a ZF Ecomat, it's got a ZF EcoLife.

[@mahmoudbassam4144]

There are two types of ZF gearboxes. ZF EcoMat and ZF EcoLife

[@elij.s.7580]

these are more like a manual transmission with helical gears, synchro rings and shift forks aren't they? or are they a traditional automatic style transmission with planetary gearsets and multiple clutch packs?

[@Beni_777]

ZFs are more like the traditional hydro-kinetic automatic transmissions, with clutch packs, torque-converters, solenoids and so on.

[@themoderndaytravelnerd2694]

Merc Citaro, E400 (not Scania), Scania L94s & B10BLEs are my favourite for the ZF

[@CB725UK]

if you wanna hear a zf then you should see a plaxton prestige

[@-M0LE]

Allison ZF anything else I shift Voith

[@oforid2227]

Omnicity buses have them fast gear changes

[@LJ07EBP]

you have got it wrong at the start the bus was on gear 0 not N, D, N, R are decided in the cab manually

[@iaspex1289]

LOVE THE VIDEO ITS FINALLY HERE! XD

[@georgegreenoshine]

Thanks! :)

[@azert52b39]

5:14

[@TheSimonhammond]

I like these on Leyland Olympians. Someone done a Voith gearbox video.

[@mrmattiyt]

The ZF Ecomat is the best gearbox.

[@riclee371]

zf sounds best on the e400 and the b10m

[@MidlandsbusEnthusiast]

The dominator is a voith not zf

[@georgegreenoshine]

I own that dominator. It’s ZF, only batch of ZF ones

[@MidlandsbusEnthusiast]

@@georgegreenoshinei'm a bus enthusiast myself, and it confused me because the gear ratios sounds almost voith like. its probably the sound of the axels confusing me . it sounds almost like a dennis trident (when decelerating). anyway, that's a very very fantastic bus you own there ; ).

[@georgegreenoshine]

@@MidlandsbusEnthusiast yeah she’s unique now. Don’t think you’ll find another bus quite like it!

[@MatthewSchoepf]

My channel has an sg280h with an excellent zf that’s better than all of the buses in this video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@LJ07EBP]

0:19 thats acc gear 2 but ok

[@toxic-st3ml]

21211s better 21213s horrid only thing is 21211 is noisy

[@toxic-st3ml]

[@georgegreenoshine]

[@busspotterbg2459]
