ZF Friedrichshafen AG will present its latest electric driveline and digital solutions at the Bus2Bus trade fair in Berlin (April 15–16, 2026).
The showcase focuses on enabling safer, more efficient, and emission-free transport for city buses, intercity vehicles, and coaches.
Predictive maintenance and driveline intelligence
A key highlight is ZF’s new driveline condition monitoring and predictive maintenance software, integrated into the AxTrax 2 LF electric portal axle.
The system analyzes e-drive data in real time, enabling:
- Continuous monitoring of driveline health
- Early detection of potential faults
- Reduced downtime through predictive maintenance
This approach improves vehicle availability and lowers total operating costs for fleet operators.
High-performance electric central drive
ZF will also present the CeTrax 2 dual electric central drive, designed for demanding long-distance applications such as intercity buses and coaches.
Key performance features include:
