Press Kit: ZF at TMC 2021

According to the HDT/Work Truck Safety Survey 2021, distracted driving detection is the top technology that America’s largest fleets plan to invest in within the next year. ZF provides 360 degrees of safety – front, side and rear – helping to shield the truck and trailer from potential hazards through detection and dynamic control. With the successful integration of WABCO, ZF’s Commercial Vehicle Solutions division, launching Jan. 2022, is intensely focused on delivering intelligent, and function-led technologies and systems required for future autonomous, connected and electric commercial vehicles. ZF will be displaying these comprehensive safety and intelligence systems during TMC Fall 2021, Sept. 12-16 in Cleveland, Ohio, in booth #4045.

Products for Commercial Vehicles

PowerLine

ZF is launching a completely new transmission: PowerLine, the fully automatic powershift transmission, has been specially designed for the medium-duty vehicle category and delivers consistently excellent results in trucks, busses and in special purpose vehicles alike.

Lightweight Future Truck and OptiFlow

One example of what future commercial vehicle concepts could look like is the Lightweight Future Truck. This is a combination of a tractor unit with a lightweight chassis optimized for installation space and a trailer with advanced aerodynamics.

Electrical and Efficient

Trucks, trailers, buses – ZF offers holistic technology solutions for commercial vehicles to electrify the transportation of people and goods, and make it more efficient.

Safe and Comfortable

Advanced driver assistance systems can make a significant contribution to making commercial vehicle traffic safer and more comfortable. In the video, Dr. Christian Brenneke, Senior Vice President Product Engineering at the Commercial Vehicle Control Systems Division talks about ZF's strategy in this field.

ADOPT

ADOPT (Autonomous Driving Open Platform Technology) is a software platform for commercial vehicles that supports autonomous driving. It takes AI-based data and converts it immediately and precisely into instructions for the actuators.

Automated Coupling Assist

Coupling a truck with a semi-trailer is one of the most challenging maneuvers, especially for less experienced drivers. With this project, ZF provides proof-of-concept for an innovative fully-automated coupling assist system that enables the truck to detect and hook a specific semi-trailer.
