Transmissions and retarders

DIWA.5 automatic transmission

The transmission of a bus must withstand a lot, particularly when used in discontinuous city traffic. Combined with the E 300.1 control device and ALADIN diagnostics software, the DIWA.5 automatic transmission is a perfect solution:
Your buses will be more comfortable and cost-effective. DIWA.5 can be easily fitted into any vehicle concept. It is especially well suited for vehicles with limited space, exterior oil hoses/pipes and the requirement of an integrated heat exchanger. Users will see the benefits of DIWA.5 as lower operation and servicing costs as well as a higher utilisation rate.

Benefits:
• Reduces wear and tear
• Very cost-effective
• Increases comfort of both driver and passengers
• Lower thermal stress for the engine’s cooling circuit

It’s not just the brakes that are operated when a truck or bus stops: with the Voith retarders, up to 90% of all braking events can be performed with zero wear and tear. The operating brake is still available, to be used if need be. There are countless benefits: improved driving comfort, reduced wear and tear, less downtime at the repair shop, higher average speed and increased transport capacity. The environment benefits as well: your vehicle will produce up to 80% less dust when you brake. Get there safely!
