ZF’s ability and courage to repeatedly create new ground-breaking products enables it to support its customers as they strive for uniqueness and technology leadership in their industries. Beyond that, all ZF-Group innovations must be able to offer clear added value not only for vehicle users and manufacturers, but also for the society and environment.
ZF Innovation Vehicles
A truck that autonomously maneuvers around the ramp, lifts and sets down swap bodies? An all-electric delivery van that autonomously drives to the next delivery address while the courier delivers the parcel? A passenger car that can prevent accidents while allowing locally emission-free driving? Or a tractor that can be remotely controlled to connect itself to farming equipment or, despite fully loaded trailers, is able to climb extraordinarily steep inclines?
