Transmission
In the field of transmission, JZ Engineering has experience in the design and development of innovative propulsion systems for the international transport market, meeting the highest demands concerning performance and efficiency. The highly specialised knowledge has evolved over many years by developments such as longitudinal and transverse four wheel, front or rear wheel drive transmission, quick shift and hybrid drive systems developments with integrated kinetic energy recovery systems for motor vehicles (KERS).
In addition to the professional CAD designs, JZ Engineering offers the relevant calculations and simulations of gearing and transmission elements with professional software applications. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is another part of the JZ Engineering’s expertise and is used to calculate structural transmission housings in carbon fibre for racing applications or castings made from aluminium, magnesium or titanium. The design and engineering of the relevant cooling, lubricating, and hydraulic systems completes JZ Engineering’s transmission service portfolio.
