ZF 6HP transmission
World's first 6-speed automatic from 2000
ZF 6HP transmission
6HP is ZF Friedrichshafen AG's trademark name for its 6-speed automatic transmission models (6-speed transmission with Hydraulic converter and Planetary gearsets) for longitudinal engine applications, designed and built by ZF's subsidiary in Saarbrücken. It uses the Lepelletier planetary gearset, an epicyclic gearset, which can provide more gear ratios with significantly fewer components. This means the 6HP 26 is actually lighter than its five-speed 5HP predecessors. The 6HP is the first transmission to use the Lepelletier planetary gearset. The Ford 6R, GM 6L and Aisin AWTF-80 SC transmissions are all based on the same globally patented Lepelletier planetary gearset. The AWTF-80 SC is the only one for transverse engine installation.
