ZF drives commercial vehicle innovation to shape the future of transportation
ZF’s commercial vehicles solutions division has developed a new hybrid transmission to support the transition toward decarbonized mobility. The TraXon 2 Hybrid from ZF will enable commercial vehicle operators to reduce carbon emissions while retaining the capabilities of a combustion engine.
With its experience developing hybrid technologies for passenger cars, ZF can adapt these technologies into viable solutions for commercial vehicles. ZF’s ability to offer technological advancements across different mobility applications enables the CVS division to develop and produce key technologies for commercial vehicles.
"In developing the TraXon 2 Hybrid, we demonstrate how synergies across our divisions enable us to address customer needs swiftly and flexibly to create viable technologies to decarbonize commercial vehicles efficiently,” said Peter Laier, member of the ZF board of management and responsible for the CVS division. “In doing so, we not only meet the shifting needs of the industry but also position ZF as a strong and reliable partner that is setting the pace of transformation with a very flexible portfolio and a very flexible production.”
ZF said that the CVS division recorded strong results in 2023, achieving organic growth of 20%, outperforming the market, which grew by 15%.
