Transmission Systems by Mercedes-Benz.

Reliable transmissions for a wide range of applications.

Manual transmission
Our range of service extends from 6-speed to 16- speed transmissions for vans,
Fully automated manual
heavy-duty commercial vehicles and buses as well as for cranes and special
transmission
vehicles. An extensive selection of power take of units, transfer cases and several
circuit variants ensures that a custom-made Transmission for vans transmission system can be
developed from standardized components. All transmissions are manufactured
on a large scale by Mercedes-Benz Commercial Transmission for medium-duty Vehicles and are engineered to
trucks
meet the highest standards of technology and quality.
Transmission for buses
To meet the demands of our customers is the focus of our work. We feel committed
to advance the design of our systems in a consistent Transmission for heavy-duty trucks and innovative way in line with
market and customer requirements. and special vehicles

Transmission for cranes

With decades of experience in the manufacturing
and development of commercial vehicle
transmissions, we possess a unique manufacturing
expertise, which distinguishes our transmissions today
particularly by three features:

Very smooth running characteristics

Low weight
Extreme durability

In the future, we will continue to stand for innovative

products focused on customer-oriented applications.

applications.
VIAB = wear-free integrated starting and braking element

G280-16 automated none synchronised transmission including VIAB of Voith

The innovative VIAB starting and braking element unites hydrodynamic start-up and hydrodynamic braking functions into one system. Unlike
conventional torque converter solutions, engine output is transferred by a
fill-regulated, fluid turbo coupling.

W ear-free start-up and manoeuvring due to the hydrodynamic transfer of

power with no time limit due to variable turbo coupling input.

I n conjunction with the large gear ratio spread, it is possible to manoeuvre

heavy loads with millimetre precision, even when tractional resistance is
high.
