A transmission for Zeppelins, the first automatic transmission for passenger cars, and trucks that park by remote control - the 100-year history of ZF reflects the development of motorized transportation as a whole. ZF and its technologies are evidence of the fact that innovation does not occur by coincidence; it is the result of societal, economic, and technological growth. This book, which commemorates the anniversary of ZF Friedrichshafen AG in 2015, clearly outlines the background and functions of the products that form the foundation for the company´s success.

This book is published with the kind support of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

This is a book by HOFFMANN UND CAMPE Corporate Publishing distributed by the publisher HOFFMANN UND CAMPE Verlags.
