A key highlight at the ZF booth is the company’s X-by-Wire portfolio. This innovative technology replaces traditional mechanical and hydraulic linkages with electronic signals, enabling greater vehicle customization and enhanced safety. With by-wire technology, ZF lays the foundation for the software-defined vehicles that will lead to new functions and features, many that emphasize safety as much as driving comfort: Purely electronically controlled and networked by-wire systems offer better vehicle control, more steering flexibility, and greater driving stability at high speeds. The display showcases a range of X-by-Wire components, including brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, and electronically controlled, active damping demonstrating the potential for future vehicles with unprecedented levels of autonomy and personalization.
For commercial vehicles and for passenger cars, ZF is showcasing its latest ADAS technologies, including advanced radar and camera systems, which enhance vehicle safety and efficiency. These systems provide crucial features such as autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.
Notable Commercial Vehicle ADAS solutions on display include OnGuardMAX Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS) and together with Short-Range Radar for improved object detection and Reversing Camera for enhanced safety. These technologies work towards making roads safer and reduce the number of accidents.
ZF’s commitment to sustainable mobility is evident in its range of electrification and connectivity solutions on display. The booth features CeTrax 2 dual, an integrated and modular electric central drive for HD trucks, buses and coaches , enabling electrification of heavy-duty vehicles. SCALAR, the next-gen fleet management solution which uses real time data and predictive analysis to streamline and optimize mixed fleet operation.
Among the new products, unveiled at the Expo, is the e-comp Air Lite a cost-efficient, lightweight electric-driven compressor designed for the Indian and Asian markets. Engineered for medium-duty commercial EVs and hybrid vehicles, it features a compact 2-cylinder design ideal for low air-demanding applications. The system enhances energy efficiency with an automatic shut-off feature when air is not needed.
The Electronic Braking System and the Electronic Stability Control provide improved safety and handling, . These solutions highlight ZF’s expertise in providing reliable and efficient solutions for the mobility sector.
ZF also showcased its construction equipment Ergo Power II transmission specifically localized for the evolving demands of the off-highway industry. The innovative transmission from ZF makes it possible to integrate electronic driveline management, lowers operations cost, and provides efficient and high-performance capabilities.
ZF’s competitive advantages lie in its robust portfolio of cutting-edge technologies and its strategic focus on design-to-market areas. By leveraging its strengths in e-mobility, commercial vehicle technology, and industrial solutions, ZF is uniquely positioned to drive the next generation of mobility. Additionally, our commitment to localizing products and optimizing our manufacturing and engineering strengths enhances our agility and resilience in the market.
The future-oriented technologies showcased at the ZF Group booth demonstrate the company’s positioning as a technology leader backed with a robust system capability. With intelligent solutions for the megatrends, ZF impressively demonstrates the vision of enabling vehicles to see, think and act. This in turn is making ZF Group a strong player in redefining India’s Mobility.
