ATRA’s Powertrain Expo Speaker Spotlight: Francisco Moreno: ZF Plug-in Hybrid and ZF Fourth Generation Transmission

Don’t miss the ATRA Powertrain Expo, the premier event for transmission repair professionals, taking place in Nashville, TN from October 25th to the 29th. Featured Technical speaker:

Francisco Moreno:  ZF Plug-in Hybrid and ZF Fourth Generation Transmission, Friday, 7:30AM – 9:30AM

The ZF 8HP has proven itself, for more than a decade, that it is among the best transmissions ever produced. As ZF continues to improve the 8HP, adding a Plug-In Hybrid version of the transmission was the next logical step and ZF now is releasing the 4th Generation of the 8HP.  Become familiar with the latest technology as we cover hybrid transmission diagnostics, torque flow, an overview of Mechatronic, and an introduction of the ZF fourth Generation Transmission.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to:

  • Describe common diagnostics of the ZF hybrid units.
  • Identify the internal safety features of hybrid systems.
  • Explain how to verify zero potential of a high-voltage system.
  • Describe the procedure to disconnect high voltage systems on BMW and Audi.
  • Identify the characteristics of 2-speed electric motors.
  • Identify updates within the latest ZF transmissions.
  • Explain common failures of the units.
  • Describe common diagnostics of the ZF hybrid units.
  • Explain the difference between ZF first-generation and fourth-generation.
