Time to break out the bubbly.
First introduced in 2009, ZF’s eight-speed automatic transmission, the 8HP, has reached a remarkable milestone: 40 million units shipped worldwide as of the beginning of this year.

The automotive world of 2026 barely resembles that of 2009. In fact, it looks vastly different even compared to just two years ago. Technologies, markets, and customer expectations have shifted at breathtaking speed.

And yet, throughout all this change, one thing has remained constant: the 8HP has set the benchmark in its class, the front-longitudinal drivetrain.

Whether the priority is performance, efficiency, driving comfort, or scalability and even electrification, the 8HP has consistently been the transmission to beat - then and now. It’s no surprise, then, that almost every premium OEM worldwide has put its trust in this technology.

40 million units. Nearly two decades of excellence. Countless vehicles on the road.
If that’s not a reason to celebrate, what is? 🤩🍾🥂
