8 Speed Auto for HD trucks
Apparently, ZF is making an 8 Speed HD trans that can handle 1000 lb-ft. 2020 release date. I see it as the next trans in the Ram 2500 and 3500s. LINK

Ram would likely have an advantage with CVT transmissions in high hp and torque applications. The CASE-IH tractors have been available with CVT transmissions for years. While it is not a direct application, I am sure they have learned a lot in making CVT work in tough conditions.
