For both, battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids, ZF already has the right products, either in volume production today or close to volume production in test vehicles – for almost all vehicle categories. ZF supplies all essential components for the electric drive system itself. This leads to higher efficiency gains compared to other suppliers who assemble their systems from components from different suppliers. "We are a true systems supplier for passenger cars, trucks and buses. No one else offers customers so much expertise and experience across such a wide range of different applications and technologies. From the electric motor and the inverter to the transmission, ZF represents everything that makes up the best and most efficient electric drives," says Stephan von Schuckmann, member of the ZF Board of Management and head of the Electrified Powertrain Technology Division.

ZF's broad line-up is not only the prerequisite for simplifying technology transfers, also economies of scale can be achieved more quickly. With the products for the Next Generation Mobility, ZF relies to a great extent on new technologies as well as on new technical approaches, platforms, modularization and scalability. All these measures – combined with the intelligent use of software – contribute to further optimizing the efficiency of ZF products for electromobility, resulting in better electric ranges and lower costs. What exactly is ZF's plan for the future? Stephan von Schuckmann, ZF Board Member, says: "Already in the next few years, e-mobility applications are intended to overcompensate the declines in conventional drives. This concerns orders worth billions for the next generation of electric cars as of 2025."
