ZF Ecomat Transmisson
This bus now has a Cummins ISL.

I remember riding the 5700 series when they used to have the Detroits with ZF's. Good times!

Love this throwback....

I miss that Detroit Diesel

[@davidburnside69]

The ZF Ecomat gearbox sounds great, but what I really like in this video is the hub reduction axles' sound! :D Great video!

[@DashTransit]

Totally going to miss this powertrain! I'ma try to catch the last of the DD50s while they still around...

[@kaneefwoods3037]

why did in like the back in the 2010s the buses didnt have a governer because they used to haul

[@davidjames3811]

That's my favorite 🚌 #5872

[@seClip9]

That transmission that bus #5872 has is a ZF 6HP-592 transmission since it is a 2004 model equipped with that specification.

[@819transitvideos]

It's about time I hear the sound of a ZF in a New Flyer! It's usually hard to hear it (in most videos; except Santa Monica's L40LF).

[@seClip9]

There you go with the correct specification. And speaking of the New Flyers from the victory depots (yes that is the department who operated the route 112 that I ride as well) there are still a lot of Detroit Diesel powered bus there even though there are only a few number of theses buses have been overhauled. On my daily commute to DCCC, it depends on my luck for now to spot any 2004 Cummins powered D40LF

it sounds almost like the the neoplans that port authority had a 5000 or 5100 series neoplan

[@819transitvideos]

@phillyzfynest1 Ahh, thank you very much for your tips! :D

[@Jayayess1190]

@jimmifingerz It got overhauled? Nice.
