In their time with conventional torque-converter automatics both Ford and Volvo used an Aisin-Warner transmission, like many other brands including Toyota, but each brand specified their own electronics, so Mondeo and S80 would have shared the same Aisin-Warner transmission but with different electronics and different names

Ford switched to using the Getrag DCT transmission, which they built under licence as the Powershift - Ford withdrew the Powershift in North America and reverted to conventional torque-converter automatics.
Powershift was first fitted to the Mondeo in 2008, it was made by Getrag icw Ford. Fitted first to petrol then to diesel models. My daughters was petrol and woeful.

My two V90's (2018 D4 diesel and 2022 B4 petrol mild hybrid) both used the 8-speed Aisin gearbox and it was an excellent gearbox both solo and towing.
