There were several incarnations of Ecomat. The first generation made from 1979-1985. The second generation made from 1984 to 2001 (with and without NBS possible, EST-18 and EST-18E control for without and with electronic throttle). Also, there's Ecomat 2 and Ecomat 4.
1986-1989 Neoplan AN-440 Transliner DK, EB, EI, EZ #3000-3491 retired in 2008 from SEPTA of Philadelphia PA, US. Detroit Diesel 6v92TA with ZF Ecomat 4HP-590
The best Diesel engine in the world mixed with one of the best transmissions. NJ Transit NovaBus Cummins ISC with the ZF transmission was a good setup.
I rode those buses a lot when I lived in Philly back in the day. Also, the 2004-2006 era New Flyers with the ZFs were amazing, especially when the 2004 model year buses were retrofit with a Cummins ISL instead of the original DD Series 50s.
god i love the eeeeeee's and eyooooo's of the zf here in vancouver we have nova lfs buses with zf 6hp 554c gearboxes in them and sure they are quiet compared to these but they still have the eeeeeee's and eyooooo's which i love so so much
Hard to say just a one favorite so I'll say three. 1. Volvo 8700LE / B12BLE 6x2 €3 with ZF5HP502, 2. Mercedes-Benz Citaro €2 with ZF5HP500 and 3. Volvo 8700LE / B12BLE 6x2 €5 with ZF6HP604
Forgot how Olympians sounded like in real life so for now it has to be the Super Olympians with loud whine (KM8827 which retired sounded like it's broken, and quite a few of the Wright ones have whine) and Enviro500s (LM5869 has the upshift sound for the 5HP and Citybus/NWFB should all make that)...
"Yeeeeeehaaaaaw" when bus accelerates and "uuughhh uuuuu" when slowing down like being dissapointed to stop ❤❤❤ gotta love ZF
На уровне звука хруста коробки ПАЗика, звука бутылок ЛиАЗа-677, и звука мотора Икаруса)

@@urbancombat1000 That was the same setup with the Flxible Metro Ds. Man, I miss those buses.
ZF 5HP590 in the MK1 Novabus LFS in Ottawa.
Probably the Ikarus 200 series buses with ZF 4HP-500.

ZF My Favorite Gearbox i Liked This Sound :) 👍
I agree
my favourite is Güleryüz Cobra 2006 and Citaro among the vehicles using the ZF Ecomat
ZFs on B7TLs are by far the beast I've always found

MAN NL2x2's or Mercedes O405N/N2's with the commonly used ZF 5HP-500.
satisfying.
Melody !
Can someone explain why it makes this sound?
Realized you could use some help with pt 2...
" Neutral at Bus Stop for certain buses. Can be identified by a subtle change in engine pitch"
Thanks!
0:01 Sounds Like A Train Class 465
The American New Flyer.
novabus
@@y.s8915 yep we have lfs's with 6hp554c gearboxes and they are sure lovely!
@@emmareporter4324 Probably with 6HP504C-N, not 6HP554. Because ZF6HP554 were fitted only with Volvo B7R's.
