ZF Friedrichshafen has posted 2014 sales growth of 9% to EUR18.4bn (US$19.8bn), with EBIT up 36% to EUR1.1bn.

“2014 was again characterised by heterogeneous market trends,” said ZF CEO, Stefan Sommer. “It is all the more gratifying we reached our goal.

“Our employees contributed to this success with their extraordinary commitment.”

ZF says the main growth driver was business with automatic passenger car transmissions and axle systems.

“The 8-speed automatic transmission, whose second generation we launched last year, has been especially popular among customers,” added Sommer.

The supplier noted however, the market for commercial vehicles and off-road machinery, “turned out to be more difficult.”
