Electric Compact Central Drive for BEV vehicle architecture
Key Facts
Compact designflexible installation across various vehicle platformsEfficientsystem enables recuperation equivalent to driveline powerEasy vehicle integrationsame tractor-implement interface as today
The modular and highly integrated transaxle system for agricultural tractors up to 100 kW combines traction, power take-offs (mechanical PTO and working hydraulics), and rear lift in one compact unit. During the development process, particular emphasis was placed on a compact design that can be implemented within the available installation space of the rear axle – without affecting the interfaces to the implement.

eFAD - Electric Front Axle Drives
The continuously variable front-wheel drive ZF eFAD (electric Front Axle Drive) helps to optimize traction and efficiency in the whole driveline. It is available in a low or a high voltage version. This electrical front axle solution offers various advantages as compared to a rigid all-wheel link.
- Increased driving comfort through all-wheel drive
- Reduced fuel consumption and improved tractive power
- Excellent maneuverability through smaller turning cycle

TERRACOM – Condition Monitoring
Using today’s vehicle and Transaxle infrastructure (installed sensors and actuators) to monitor the systems behavior and utilization to derive the system and its component condition and to perform a prediction or reaction.
Goals of ZF TERRACOM
- Reduce vehicle downtime in case of failure and damage
- Foster knowledge basis for future driveline development
- Streamline warranty processing - increase transparency of root-cause(s) and support aftermarket services with instant overview
