ZF 8HP is still a traditional torque converter transmission. Most high performance or high torque applications use that design. Dual clutch automatics or automated manuals can't take it.
Citation needed. By truck if you mean commercial truck (lorry, artic, etc.) then no, Allison still makes hydraulic automatics which are very common in vocational work the world over.

Virtually every truck has an automated manual transmission, every EV 2-speed is a DCT, Porsche uses PDKs etc.
Every truck? Like which ones?
As an American (land of the pickup truck) I can't think of any
I think GP meant eighteen-wheelers and the like.
More like SUVs with beds
But yes, sibling is correct, I'm talking about commercial vehicles.

Tremec makes DCTs that are used in 800hp Mustangs and 1000hp Corvettes
