ZF REACHES FURTHER MILESTONES IN ITS “NEXT GENERATION MOBILITY” STRATEGY

Integration pays off - ZF’s new Commercial Vehicles Solution division secures substantial customer orders for innovation technologies in its first six months. Transformation pays off - Demonstration and first customer orders of market-ready steer-by-wire system for passenger cars completes holistic ZF ‘by wire’ portfolio.

ZF DRIVES THE BY-WIRE FUTURE OF MOBILITY

As vehicles become increasingly electrified, automated, and software controlled, ZF is at the forefront of developing and industrializing advanced chassis systems with the industry’s most comprehensive offering of by-wire technologies that no longer require a mechanical connection or system fluids. ZF revealed that it has been awarded significant volume contracts by multiple major car manufacturers that will launch in all major regions as of 2023.

ZF AFTERMARKET DOUBLES ITS RANGE OF ELECTRONIC DAMPERS

As well as premium class vehicles and sports cars, many mid-range vehicles and SUVs are also equipped with electronically adjustable dampers, such as the Sachs CDC (Continuous Damping Control). To help automotive workshops remain competitive in this expanding market, ZF Aftermarket has now greatly expanded its spare parts program for electronic dampers.

DUAL-MASS FLYWHEEL: ZF AFTERMARKET ADVISES CAUTION WITH ALTERNATIVE SPARE PARTS

The dual mass flywheel dampens torsional vibrations and thus allows the engine to run efficiently at significantly lower speeds than is possible with a conventional flywheel. This reduces fuel consumption. When replacing the DMF, garages should explain to customers that for optimal performance their vehicle's drivetrain relies on this damping function.

Combined Drive Forces: ZF Presents Modular System for Special Vehicles

At Interschutz 2022, ZF will be showcasing for the first time a new modular drive system for special vehicles that guarantees manufacturers maximum flexibility and reliability for extreme use cases. Comprising an automatic transmission, transfer case and electric motor, the modular concept is perfectly equipped for heavy use on rough terrain, airports, construction sites and more.

E-Bike Speed Sensor Targets High Resolution of Signal

In order to support the driver in the best possible way, sensors are needed to deliver the required data and therefore adapt the engine's power support. An essential component is the ZF e-bike sensor for measuring the current speed, which is based on Hall technology with significant advantages over conventional reed switches.
