Low-emission metro mass transit systems reliably carry huge numbers of people in the world's metropolises. ZF technologies for metros provide operators with efficient mass-rapid transit and passengers with safety coupled with comfort.

Innovative Lightweight for the Los Angeles Metro

ZF is using aluminum housings for transmissions in metros for the first time in North America – making the transmissions 15 percent lighter than existing products in the North American market. Several hundred railcars in the Los Angeles metro are fitted with a ZF transmission with its innovative lightweight design. The video shows how lightweight design helps make local public transportation even more efficient.

Flexible, ultra-resilient technologies from ZF help trains fly along the tracks. Forward-looking ZF products for high-speed trains allow maximum speeds of between 250 and 600 kilometers per hour on rails.

The reliable components for LRVs (light rail vehicles) and trams withstand the rigors of increasing traffic volumes that pose a major challenge for cities and transit authorities. ZF technology consistently delivers efficient, quiet and environmentally friendly mobility on LRVs and trams.

Ultra-efficient driveline and chassis systems, which have proven themselves time and again in daily service, help make efficient, environmentally friendly mobility a reality.
