It's exhilarating to be part of an industry that's transforming to a more Connected, Autonomous, Sustainable, Electric, and Shared (CASES) future. We at ZF Aftermarket are embracing this transformation and driving innovation to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the automotive landscape. In response to the surge in electric vehicle adoption, we've introduced products such as ZF Lifeguard e-Fluids and TRW Electric Blue brake pads, both of which are tailored specifically for EVs and hybrids. They’re designed to optimize performance, ensuring safety and efficiency in the growing world of electric mobility. And they’re just part of a growing portfolio of intelligent electric drive solutions that also includes electric motors, plug-in hybrid transmissions, power electronics, all-electric drives and chassis components. Our commitment to accessibility and convenience means we’re investing in enhancing our digital presence as well. This move aims to make our product and service offerings more accessible than ever before through advanced eCommerce tools. In this dynamic landscape, staying at the forefront of innovation is essential. We're not only keeping pace with change but setting new standards. Our relentless pursuit of excellence and dedication to sustainable and intelligent solutions are propelling us into an exciting future. #ZFAftermarket #NextGenMobility #CASES

The surge of new battery-electric vehicles is reshaping the landscape for future models. Pete Holdmann from ZF Group's Chassis Solutions division highlights a key trend: the rise of rear-wheel steering, driven by the shift to e-mobility. EVs like the Mercedes-Benz AG EQE are adopting this system to enhance agility and maneuverability. ZF is responding to the soaring demand by expanding production lines in Mexico and China. Why the shift? With longer wheelbases to accommodate larger battery systems, EVs risk losing agility. Rear-wheel steering solves this by enhancing maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. ZF's Active Kinematics Control technology facilitates this, already integrated into over 1.64 million units since 2013. As Holdmann projects, the market for rear-wheel steering systems is set to double, reaching €300 million in two years. This innovation isn't new, but its adoption is gaining momentum, with models like the Mercedes S-Class and Ford F-150 embracing it. Suppliers like Continental and Magna International are also vying in this space. #ElectricVehicles #AutomotiveInnovation #RearWheelSteering

At the Global Technology Day last week in Jeversen (Germany), ZF presented the latest innovations in commercial vehicle technology, but also in the fields decarbonization, chassis, safety and digitalization. In addition to driving solutions for the full electrification of trucks and buses, ZF’s new TraXon 2 Hybrid transmission for heavy commercial vehicles will help to shape the transition to e-mobility and support global CO2 targets. As the number of fully electric vehicle registrations is increasing more slowly than expected, and the demand for electric vehicles is also stagnating in the commercial vehicle sector, ZF is prepared to support the diverse incremental steps and regional variations in demand during the transition. "One of our greatest strengths is our flexibility. For more than 100 years, openness to technology has been part of the DNA of our corporate strategy. This approach continues to pay off," said CEO Dr. Holger Klein. #FutureStarter #ToMobilityAndBeyond

ZF Group has unveiled an innovative Brake-by-Wire system in Shanghai, a game-changer in automotive tech. Kudos for eliminating brake fluid, enhancing safety, and boosting performance in the electric vehicle era. Key points: - ZF's all-new Brake-by-Wire system, developed globally, ditches hydraulic systems and brake fluid. - Electric cars with this system can enjoy up to 17% more range through efficient recuperation. - By skipping hydraulic components, ZF lowers assembly costs, lessens environmental impact, and maintains a familiar braking feel. - In the realm of software-defined and electric vehicles, ZF's Brake-by-Wire is a marvel, setting new standards for safety, sustainability, and performance. How do you think it will impact the future of electric vehicles? #electriccars #emobility #sustainability #evs #cleanenergy #cleanmobility
