After a 48-hour, caffeine-fueled session of intense brainstorming and coding, the closing bell rang on the first ZF Open-Source Mobility Hackathon. Held on January 7, the activity was conducted during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. A total of 170 participants from 20 countries registered to take part.

ZF's new commercial vehicle division, “Commercial Vehicle Solutions,” started as planned at the beginning of the year. Combines ZF’s former Commercial Vehicle Technology and Commercial Vehicle Control Systems (formerly WABCO) divisions. This makes ZF Commercial Vehicle Solutions the largest commercial vehicle supplier. Holds a leading position in the core technology fields of electromobility, digitization as well as autonomous and networked driving.

VinFast, among the fastest growing vehicle manufacturers globally, will launch platforms with higher level automated functions in the near future utilizing ZF’s expertise in hardware, software and system integration.

Las Vegas NV – ZF is a leader in the development of driver assist systems, providing intelligence, advanced safety and automated functions while expanding its business with leading global automakers and recent business awards. ZF delivers advanced sensor technologies and intelligent functions that add value for consumers.

The intelligence of next generation vehicles is increasingly migrating to a few central high-performance computers. The software running on them should be easy to update and expand with new functions, like a smartphone. And all this with the highest functional safety standards for mobility systems.

To avoid changing the pads on the motorcycle on a journey, TRW has equipped its new TRQ racing pads with road approval. This means that once they arrive at the race track, after a short braking period, they are match-ready for competition use.

A large vehicle fleet is an interplay of many moving parts: vehicles, drivers, electric power, combustion engines. Routes, fuel consumption, regulations and legal requirements must work together in harmony for smooth and efficient operation.

ZF will showcase how its pioneering technologies, fleet management, trailer and aftermarket solutions are helping enhance fleet strategies for differentiation at Solutrans 2021, one of the industry’s largest trade shows for light and heavy commercial vehicles. ZF will present its industry-leading Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), including the launch of a new integrated e-CMR platform solution to support the paperless transportation of goods world-wide.

ZF enters the next phase of digitalization by expanding its strategic collaboration with Microsoft. The mobility technology company will create a holistic data and integration platform, the ZF Cloud, to digitalize all of ZF's industrial and operational production and business processes on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. The new capacities will process the huge data volume generated by vehicles using ZF technologies to further optimize connectivity of ZF components and enable entirely new vehicle functionalities, including for automated driving and autonomous shuttles.

Friedrichshafen. In cooperation with Freudenberg, Flixbus and the climate NGO Atmosfair, ZF is participating in a project for fuel cell technology. The objective of the "HyFleet" project is to design and test a purely electrically powered coach. The project is scheduled to run for three years and aims to identify important findings for the optimum design of fuel cells in coaches.
