Highlight Products

AxTrax 2 LF

AxTrax 2 LF is ZF's latest addition to its in-house developed suite of e-drives specifically designed for city and intercity buses up to 29 tons. With a space-efficient design using similar installation space as the previous low-floor e-axle, it allows for simple interchangeability with existing electric vehicle setups. The innovative solution comprises two stand-alone silicon carbide (SiC) inverters and an ECU, creating a comprehensive e-axle system for electric, hybrid, and trolley buses.

Collision Mitigation System for City Buses

The industry’s first OE-independent CMS solution specifically engineered for city buses operated in complex urban environments serves the increasing safety demands of the public transport sector. The system can actively respond to vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians in or entering the path of the vehicle to help avoid or mitigate impending collisions, while protecting unsecured bus passengers.

OnHand

Building on decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing industry-leading mechatronic systems, OnHand replaces the conventional parking brake with an innovative, compact mechatronic device and an electronic unique hand control unit. With its variety of differentiating value-adding functionalities, the system does not only contribute to improved vehicle safety, but also comes as building block technology towards autonomous driving.

CeTrax 2 dual Electric Central Drive  

CeTrax 2 dual is designed to seamlessly package within the space of the transmission of an ICE vehicle enabling bus manufacturers to offer ICE and electric powertrains in a single vehicle platform. The system integrates modular and in-house developed components which results in an innovative one-box solution enabling compact size and light weight allowing for flexible application into solo and articulated bus and coach applications with either low- or high-floor design.

GSR II ADAS Suite

Offering the CV industry’s broadest product portfolio supported by its see – think – act philosophy, ZF is uniquely positioned to support customers to fulfill the requirements of EU’s updated General Safety Regulation (GSR II). The set of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) designed for commercial vehicles, provides the required functionalities such as Moving-Off Information System, Blind Spot Information System, and Reversing Information System to help protect pedestrians and cyclists.

OnGuardACTIVE

This lean ‘radar-only’ active safety system assists truck and bus drivers in recognizing and responding to dangerous driving scenarios that could lead to a rear-end collision with a moving or stationary vehicle ahead - even in low visibility conditions. The system monitors the traffic situation ahead and warns the driver of imminent collisions. If the driver does not take corrective action, OnGuardACTIVE is able to autonomously apply up to full braking. ​

Electronic Braking System

This advanced brake control technology transfers the driver’s deceleration request electronically to all braking system components to shorten response time, balance brake forces and provide efficient brake management between service and endurance brakes.

Electric Portal Axle AxTrax AVE

The electric portal axle AxTrax AVE with integrated wheel hub drive is the solution for electric buses, hybrid buses and trolleybuses. It enables to solo buses as well as articulated buses full-electric and zero-emission driving. The ZF system with inverter and the EST 54 electronic control unit with proprietary ZF software provides vehicle manufacturers with a system package that is designed for cost-effectiveness and efficiency.

Electric Central Drive CeTrax

Buses and trucks should be fast and effective as well as – today more than ever – clean and quiet! Logistics companies and transport operators demand low-cost, low-emission vehicles. Especially for conventional driveline arrangements, ZF offers its CeTrax electric central drive.
