Driven Portal Axle
- ZF offers the driven axle up to a complete system including air springs, dampers, and radius rods
- The wheel heads of the AV 133 equipped with low-maintenance hub units (compact bearings) also reduce the time to replace brake disks. Altogether, the axle system weight is below 1000 kilograms
- Specially ground bevel gears ensure quiet running and minimal noise. The wide range of ratios also covers electric drive concepts such as trolley and hybrid drives
- The lowered, weight optimized axle housing and the laterally positioned differential create additional space for a step-free center aisle
- Wear part compatibility with AV components constitutes a major advantage for OEMs and operators in terms of servicing and cost-effectiveness
