The public transportation industry is an essential component of sustainable mobility. Buses are the backbone of this sector, and it is crucial that they operate efficiently and reliably. However, ensuring this can be challenging, given the demanding conditions under which these vehicles operate.

To help address these challenges, ZF has developed the ZF Health Check, a digital service concept specifically designed for the widely used automatic transmission for city and intercity buses, the ZF EcoLife. The solution leverages the intelligent ZF Bus Connect fleet management system to provide real-time monitoring of critical vehicle data during operation.

By collecting and analyzing data from the transmission system, including parameters such as RPM, gear position, oil temperature, and oil pressure, the ZF Health Check generates insights that can help fleet operators proactively maintain their buses. This approach allows for creation of maintenance plans based on the actual condition of the vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of breakdowns and optimizing maintenance intervals.

The ZF Health Check also helps fleet operators plan their service schedules better by providing early warning of potential issues. The system can detect and alert operators to any deviations in oil pressure or temperature that may indicate the onset of a problem. This early warning system enables operators to schedule maintenance work proactively, reducing repair costs, and minimizing the impact of vehicle downtime on passenger services.

Overall, the ZF Health Check provides a comprehensive solution for fleet operators to maximize the availability of their buses while minimizing maintenance costs. The solution offers significant benefits to the public transportation sector, contributing to the reduction of emissions, improving reliability and passenger experience.
