Steyr - 1864-2001

Until 2001, ZF was part of Austrian Steyr, founded in 1864. The company had a notable history in the automotive market, as Ferdinand Porsche, who had parted ways with Daimler-Benz, took over as chief engineer in 1929. He led the design of the larger-sized Austria 21/100PS luxury car, which had the first ever detachable-head engine, independent rear-wheel suspension, and was equipped with Lockheed four-wheel hydraulic brakes.

This model was not put into production because the creditor Steyr demanded technical support from Austro-Daimler. The offended Porsche left the company and founded his own bureau. He subsequently designed the first Volks-wagen for the Third Reich, Porsche is still in constant collaboration with Volkswagen to this day.
