What does 8AT transmission mean?
1 Answers
Here is the meaning of 8AT transmission: 1. An 8AT transmission is an automatic transmission with 8 forward gears. The increased number of gears allows for a closer gear ratio, enabling the vehicle to operate at more appropriate gear positions, reducing engine speed and fuel consumption. In terms of automatic transmissions, the evolution has progressed from conventional automatic transmissions to those incorporating manual operation modes, and further to continuously variable transmissions (CVT) and dual-clutch transmissions. 2. 8AT transmissions are generally found in high-end models. Many premium products from brands like BMW, Audi, and Land Rover use ZF's 8-speed automatic manual transmission, commonly referred to as the ZF transmission. The first domestic brand to adopt the ZF 8AT transmission was the H8 and H9 series under the Haval brand.
