ZF integrates commercial vehicle expertise in its cubiX vehicle motion control offering. As with passenger cars, electronic control functionalities are also increasing in commercial vehicles, leading to a growing demand for dedicated control units. With the emergence of new electrical and electronic vehicle technologies, all vehicle actuators including brakes, driveline and steering can be managed cohesively through centralized control software. This is where cubiX comes into play: the ZF-software controls all actuators to ensure vehicle stability, safety, precision and performance. The system is now also available for commercial vehicle customers, customized to their individual needs. #FutureStarter #ToMobilityandBeyond #software

#FutureStarter Dhananjay Gaikwad appreciates the wide range of technologies, particularly in his area of responsibility and expertise, Vehicle Motion Control and Chassis Solutions: The range of technologies he can discuss with customers extends from the purely mechanical EasyTurn suspension strut axle concept to the cubiX software, the central controller for all vehicle drives.

ZF's expertise extends to most vehicle classes, which creates synergy effects. One example of this approach is the launch of the cubiX vehicle motion control software for commercial vehicles. Originally developed for the passenger car sector where it is already in successful volume production, ZF is now expanding the cubiX portfolio by adding a vehicle motion control offering for commercial vehicle customers, customized to their individual needs. #chassis

With his travel from the ZF Head Office in Pune to the development centers of Indian car manufacturers in other industrial areas, #Futurestarter Dhananjay Gaikwad knows the characteristics of mobility in his home country particularly well. So, he understands how important innovative solutions are to drive #NextGenMobility. With EasyTurn for example, turning maneuvers are much easier in narrow lanes — an argument that is becoming increasingly relevant in India‘s busy metropolitan areas.

The only solution for many challenges is to join forces or to connect the dots. Have a read about various aspects in our latest newsletter.

This week, ZF's Kyle Williams spoke at WardsAuto's AutoTech Detroit on the evolving landscape for Tier 1 suppliers and exploring how suppliers can remain competitive in this dynamic era of SDVs. During the session, Kyle tackled the significant challenges suppliers face, including increased competition from tech companies and automakers developing their own software, and revenue loss due to hardware commoditization. Despite these hurdles, there are many opportunities in collaborating with software tech companies, co-developing new software functions with automakers, innovating sensor technologies, and using data to create unique selling points. In this era of software-defined vehicles, adaptation and innovation are crucial. ZF’s cubiX technology is a prime example of how integrated systems can redefine vehicle control and propel the industry forward. #AutoTechDetroit #Innovation #Mobility #ZF #cubiX
