While new propulsion concepts and open technology approaches take center stage, highly advanced conventional powertrains and efficient hybrid solutions are experiencing a renaissance. In high-performance vehicles, every millisecond counts. For decades, hofer powertrain has been pioneering advanced transmission solutions that deliver full engine power to the road without compromise. Maximum dynamics, lightning-fast shifting times, and precise control remain essential. hofer powertrain develops innovative transmission technologies for niche segments, offering tailored solutions for dual-clutch and hybrid transmissions, as well as transmission control and software solutions. The highly dynamic transmission control and extremely fast shifting times for clutch and gears are achieved through the optimal combination of mechatronics and precisely tuned software.
hofer powertrain's expertise is evident in numerous projects over the past 40 years with leading OEMs worldwide, focusing on the development, testing, and industrialization of cutting-edge transmission technologies: from the high-performance transmission of the Mercedes-AMG SLS, to the unique high-performance transmission control of the Lamborghini Aventador, achieving reaction times below 50 milliseconds, and the innovative hydraulic control unit of the AMG Project ONE, distinguished by its Formula 1-derived technology.
These and many other developments underscore hofer powertrain’s ability to deliver customized powertrain solutions with maximum efficiency, performance, and dynamics—ranging from bespoke single-unit productions to scalable solutions for series production.
“For hypercars and sports cars, rapid shifting and performance remain critical factors. Our high-performance transmissions and advanced control systems enabled OEMs to fully unlock their vehicles' potential—whether in terms of speed, efficiency, or driving experience and we are looking forward to supporting many more customers in their developments,” emphasizes Dr. Ing. Günter Ebinger, Deputy Managing Director for Engineering and Project Management at hofer powertrain.
hofer powertrain supports OEMs throughout the entire value chain—from initial concept to small series production. Through a holistic system development approach, interdisciplinary teams ensure that transmission solutions are not only innovative but also production-ready and seamlessly integrated into vehicle manufacturing. This includes comprehensive development, rigorous testing, supplier management for optimal scaling, industrialization processes, and commissioning—all to guarantee the highest levels of performance and quality for end customers.
