ZF is spearheading the transformation of commercial vehicles by focusing on decarbonization through a comprehensive range of technologies. Their solutions span from hybrid drivetrains to fully electric systems, with innovations designed to meet global demand for sustainable road transport. The company’s showcase at the IAA Transportation event in Hanover highlights its leadership in e-mobility and hybrid solutions.
Key Highlights:
- Hybrid drivetrain technologies reduce emissions while offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
- TraXon 2 Hybrid allows easy integration of hybrid systems into existing platforms.
- E-Mobility Kit offers customizable electric drive solutions for OEMs.
- Electrified trailers cut emissions and extend vehicle range, whether paired with ICE or electric trucks.
- eWorX powers electric commercial vehicle equipment with compact, efficient design.
Hybrid Technologies for Immediate Emission Reduction
ZF is heavily investing in hybrid drivetrain technologies as a quick and efficient means to cut emissions in commercial vehicles. The TraXon 2 Hybrid, a variant of the TraXon 2 transmission, is a significant innovation that makes hybrid integration simpler for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This system not only enhances mobility but also provides a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers.
Zero Emissions Solutions: E-Mobility Kit
The E-Mobility Kit from ZF provides a flexible, modular solution for electrification. It includes key components such as inverters, motors, and control units. This kit allows manufacturers to choose between complete e-drive systems or individual components, making it adaptable to a wide range of commercial vehicle applications.
Electrified Trailers: Boosting Efficiency
ZF’s electrified trailer concept represents a breakthrough in reducing CO2 emissions, whether the trailer is towed by an internal combustion engine (ICE) or electric truck. With AxTrax 2 e-Axle technology, this concept can lower emissions by up to 16% for ICE vehicles and up to 40% for plug-in hybrids. This technology helps extend range and improve efficiency.
eWorX: Powering Commercial Vehicle Equipment
The eWorX platform is a state-of-the-art electrified power-take-off solution (ePTO) designed for electric commercial vehicles. It integrates a 50-kW e-motor, inverter, and control unit to power various equipment. The system is space-efficient and scalable, with the next generation set to feature a 70 kW, 800 V drive for increased power and security.
By delivering a flexible range of hybrid and electric solutions, ZF continues to drive the decarbonization of road transport, making the future of mobility both efficient and sustainable.
