TraXon 2 Hybrid

Innovative automated manual transmission for hybrid CV applications

Key Facts

Reduced CO₂ EmissionsReduces emissions up to 47% with hybrid e-drive technologyFast PaybackAchieves ~2-year TCO payback through fuel and toll savingsEasy HybridizationIntegrates into existing platforms with minimal effort
ZF’s TraXon 2 Hybrid is a groundbreaking solution for plug-in and full hybrid commercial vehicles in long-haul applications. It offers cost-effective electrification of the drivetrain and a smoother transition to environmentally friendly transportation. Based on the proven TraXon 2 design, the hybrid solution reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and CO2 emissions.

Customer Benefits

  • Provides a highly integrated hybrid transmission system solution that includes a silicon carbide (SiC) inverter

  • Delivers premium, reliable performance and optimized energy efficiency, supporting demanding commercial vehicle (CV) requirements

  • Facilitates clean, safe and efficient mobility for haulers entering zero-emission zones

  • Offers the same or more driving performance and range as conventional heavy-duty commercial vehicle applications

  • Ensures a cost-effective system solution with lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to commercial vehicles with internal combustion engines only

  • Enables for PHEV up to 47%* CO₂ savings in long‑haul (VECTO). Real‑world results vary with usage, charging, load and battery size**

  • Achieves rapid payback with TCO amortization in approximately two years, supported by significant toll‑fee advantages for PHEV under the Eurovignette system*

    *Based on ZF internal, simulation-based study (including VECTO)
    **Additional potential for CO₂ reduction through ICE downsizing – dependent on the OEM

Features & Capabilities

  • Includes an oil‑cooled permanent‑magnet synchronous hairpin motor with high power density, capable of delivering 190 kW continuous power (UN ESE R85) and 225 kW peak power

  • Uses an independent 600–800 V SiC inverter to maximize e‑powertrain efficiency (HV3/HV3+), delivering a compact, powerful system

  • Offers optional integration of ZF-Intarder and various PTO options for enhanced functionality

  • Transmits e‑motor power through a dedicated planetary gear stage directly to the input shaft, enabling efficient and fully electric driving

  • Enables highly efficient hybrid driving with a P2 layout that allows the decoupling of the e‑motor from the ICE

  • Supports full‑electric driving, recuperation, sailing, and electric actuation of all 12 gears for maximum efficiency

  • Allows greater vehicle versatility by providing electrical power for e-hotelling, cooling units or other external consumers

  • Provides purely electric driving up to 80 km/h and an electric range of approximately 80 km with a 100 kWh battery*

*Based on ZF internal, simulation-based study (including VECTO)
