Currently there are more than 320 000 Voith DIWA automatic transmissions for city buses delivered to global customers. Small as well as big operators trust Voith mobility solutions and keep ordering new vehicles with the DIWA automatic transmission.

An increasing number of customers already experience the major advantages of Voith DIWA add-on applications. Voith has fitted over 1 500 buses with the DIWA.6 Stop-Start tech-nology and equipped more than 2 000 with SmartMainte-nance. The Stop-Start Technology is capable of achieving a up to 12 percent reduction in fuel consumption. In combina-tion with the SensoTop shifting program, the topography-de-

pendent system that adjusts gear-shifting points to the route inclination, the DIWA transmission operates highly efficient. SmartMaintenance, on the other hand, contributes to reduced downtimes and operating cost.

The transmission is also leading in combination with CNG-driven buses. Due to larger gear change intervals, the DIWA transmission supports the engines in times of demanding control. Many operators that are currently replacing their fleet with alternative fueled vehicles experience the benefits of the DIWA transmission through lower fleet emissions and a significant contribution to a cleaner environment every single day.

Every day Voith sets new standards with the DIWA automatic transmission, moving millions of people worldwide that relyhighly on arriving safely and comfortably at their various destinations. The Voith DIWA transmission is well-trusted within the industry due to its high reliability and efficiency.

The African continent is experiencing a growing demand in regards to public transportation. Buses are preferred over rail due to their availability and efficiency. Operators face very unique challenges when it comes to infrastructure and topog-raphy that is where the Voith DIWA transmission comes into play. Operators can count on decades of expertise in the area of efficiency and innovative technology. Big South African bus operators have equipped their fleets with Voith transmis-sions.

Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) – one of the biggest transportation companies in South Africa – is committed to providing approximately 52 million passengers yearly with a safe, reliable and sustainable means of transportation, in and around the metropolitan area of Cape Town. The company’s fleet of 1 046 buses operates along 1 300 routes providing an essential service to the local community. Voith DIWA transmissions are fitted to 88 percent (918 vehicles) of the fleet vehicles and provide extraordinary fuel economy.

SensoTop is a topography-dependent system equipped into approximately 70 per-cent (633 vehicles) of the GABS fleet. The main benefits of this intelligent system are higher fuel efficiency and lower cost/km. This is accomplished through the intelligent adjustment of gear-shifting points to the inclination of the route. Bus op-erators therefore reduce cost and improve their competitiveness.

The SensoTop system has not only seen huge success within the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region, but also plays an important role throughout the world. Cost benefit and higher efficiency is crucial for transportation companies and Voith delivers well-trusted solutions to meet those challenges with innovative intel-ligence.

Improving efficiency in North AmericaDIWA.6 for CNG is setting new standards

Building upon the successful 30-year history of the DIWA transmission in North America, Voith has made an important leap forward with the introduction of the DIWA.6 for compressed natural gas (CNG) engines in transit bus chassis. With more than 11 000 DIWA transmissions in natural gas powered buses worldwide Voith has gathered unique expertise in supplying the most reliable and efficient transmission into the market.

With an ever-growing demand for natural gas powered transit buses and in alignment with GHG Phase II (rules related to greenhouse gas emission reduction), the DIWA.6 is an efficient and reliable solution for CNG powertrains in North America.

Increasing uptime, lowering the cost per mile and continuously improving fuel effi-ciency have been primary goals of Voith’s engineering teams for years. Our application engineering experts have worked closely with American bus manufacturers to develop an Efficiency Package designed for the optimization of performance and efficiency in transit buses.

These efforts have already had a significant impact, as today more than 400 DIWA.6 transmissions for CNG engines are operating successfully throughout North America, while the demand continues to soar.

The release of the DIWA.6 continues the 30-year legacy of reliable Voith DIWA trans-missions. To date, more than 11 300 DIWA transmissions are operating in cities throughout North America, allowing transit authorities to transport the population ef-ficiently, safely and on time.

The trend in the Asian market towards urbanization and megacities is expected to be growing for the foreseeable future. This is especially true for Asian cities where people depend on being mobile through public transportation. Quick and reliable solutions are demanded by customers to be capable of transporting millions of pas-sengers each and every day. In order to meet these goals more and more cities count on either new BRT systems or extending existing lines.

For China, Voith’s DIWA automatic transmission currently holds a market share of 70 % in high level BRT lines, serving more than 20 Chinese megacities. Operators trust Voith’s DIWA automatic transmission to be the best solution for building up sophisticated BRT systems. For example, Nanjing PT ordered 394 DIWA transmis-sions in 2016 in order to meet those established requirements. That accounts for a market share of 80 % in Nanjing PT.

Further, SEA (South East Asia) illustrates similar tendencies. Countries within that region have built or are about to build BRT systems to ensure smooth public transportation. In Singapore the largest public transport company, Land Transport Authority, owns 2 411 buses with DIWA transmission for urban city routes. Land Transport Authority also has the world’s largest Mercedes-Benz Citaro fleet, of which 99 percent are equipped with Voith DIWA transmissions.

Malaysia and Indonesia also recognize the advantages of Voith’s DIWA transmission. Currently there are approx. 1 000 buses with DIWA successfully operating in Malay-sia. The biggest local bus operator RapidKL owns 613 buses with Voith’s automatic transmission. Indonesia – with its well-developed and still expanding BRT system – has around 100 buses in operation that drive with Voith DIWA. A real proof of trust since the shift from the predominantly used manual transmissions has just started.

Urbanization as the megatrendAsian cities count on DIWA

Over 5 000 new buses with DIWA

• Hangzhou PT, China• Dalian PT, China• Jinan PT, China• Nanjing PT, China• Zhengzhou PT, China• Changzhou PT, China• Yinchuan PT, China• Chengdu PT, China• SBS Transit, Singapore• RapidKL, Malaysia• TransJakarta, Indonesia

70 %of all high level BRT lines throughout China use DIWA as the most sophisticated and reliable automatic transmission.
