ZF Aftermarket strengthens service capability through partnership with Bristol Transmissions
ZF Aftermarket continues to build on its partnership with Bristol Transmissions, an authorised ZF service partner since 2024.
Customers gain access to over 2,000 ZF part numbers, 6, transmissions.
The Partnership supports ZF’s aftermarket growth strategy, combining OE-quality remanufacturing with faster availability for UK workshops and fleets.
ZF Aftermarket is reinforcing its UK service capability through its ongoing partnership with Bristol Transmissions, reflecting the shared commitment of both businesses to deliver OE-quality remanufactured transmissions and drivetrain solutions to the independent aftermarket.
Founded in 1972, Bristol Transmissions has decades of experience remanufacturing automatic and manual transmissions, transfer boxes and differentials for cars and light commercial vehicles. Its heritage and reputation give customers confidence in the quality of its service – and since becoming an authorised ZF service partner in 2024, the business has been able to further enhance its offering with direct access to ZF’s global remanufacturing standards and portfolio.
Through the partnership, UK customers benefit from access to over 2,000 ZF part numbers, with a strong focus on the latest 6 8 and 9 speed automatic gearboxes. Demand for ZF’s 9-speed is expected to be especially strong, with Bristol Transmissions highlighting the positive impact on both customer service and workshop efficiency.
The collaboration also ensures that customers receive the reassurance of OE-level testing, remanufacturing standards and ZF’s seven-day delivery promise, minimising downtime for garages and fleets. Bristol Transmissions further supports customers with ZF-approved technical literature and product information at the point of sale.
Mark Bowen, Business Development Manager for Europe at ZF Group, commented: “Our partnership with Bristol Transmissions has been an important step in ZF’s aftermarket strategy. With more than 50 years of remanufacturing expertise, they are a trusted name in the UK market, and we are proud to combine that local knowledge with ZF’s global standards and portfolio.
“Together, we are ensuring that workshops and fleet operators have rapid access to the very best in remanufactured transmission technology – from our 6, 8 and 9 speed gearboxes to future hybrid applications. Bristol Transmissions shares our passion for quality and service, and we are excited to continue building on our relationship in the years ahead.”
