ZF AS Tronic is anautomated manual transmission made byZF Friedrichshafen for the bus,motorcoach andlorry market in Europe and North America. It was first introduced in 2003.[1][2]As is the case with most automated-manual transmissions, it lacks thetorque converter that is standard on conventional automatic transmissions. The AS Tronic is claimed to be 500 pounds less than the ZF B500 torque-converter conventional automatic transmission range.
The transmission is offered as 6-speed (referred to as AS Tronic Lite by ZF), along with the core10-speed[3] 12-speed or 16-speed units.
