ZF hybrid systems in commercial vehicles
Rugged and economical
The properties of commercial vehicles are assessed according to increasingly strict standards. Hybrid technology is blazing decisive trails into the future in the areas of fuel savings, environmental compatibility, and noise reduction.
Innovative Driving
The hybrid principle, i.e. the combination of combustion engine and electric engine, seems to be simple, but electric engines for hybrid drives require special solutions. They have to meet the requirements of the car’s powertrain in terms of power density and vibration damping. The energy management, and thus the controller software, is what sets a hybrid drive apart and is primarily responsible for determining the degree of potential fuel reduction. Hybrid technology has to pay off if fleet owners and transport services are going to invest in it.
Comprehensive product portfolio
ZF supplies components, modules and complete hybrid systems. With a comprehensive product portfolio, ZF is expanding its leading position as a hybrid technology supplier for commercial vehicles. ZF focuses on parallel hybrids - as well as serial hybrids for special applications.
Cost advantages for commercial vehicles with hybrid technology
In the face of constantly rising transport costs, freight carriers, mobility service providers and fleet operators are essentially looking for one thing: lower life-cycle costs. Fleet operators expect a quick return on investment for hybrid technology. Cities all over the world are imposing more and more stringent energy limits and traffic restrictions. This will lead to a growing demand for hybrid technology. ZF already supplies hybrid solutions commercial vehicles.
