E-Mobility @ ZF

40 million axle drives from ZF – that's a lot of power packs. To transmit the drive forces of the engine to the wheels, each of these units can handle a nominal max axle torque between 2,500 and 9,000 Newton meters. You would guess that this means these axle drives are heavyweights, but guess again: Over the generations, ZF has consistently refined its lightweight construction. Not least because of their good power-to-weight ratio, ZF axle drives are also used in electrified driving, for example in hybrid cars such as MHEVs or PHEVs. #AxleDrives #Driveline #ToMobilityandBeyond

 ZF's Range Extender Systems significantly enhance EV range, ensuring seamless integration and maximizing efficiency. With excellent noise and vibration control, they are designed for both 400V and 800V architectures, making them adaptable for various vehicle types. Prepared for any journey ahead!

🚀 🚗 Great success for our e-mobility team! The automotive supplier association CLEPA honors ZF as a top innovator in the “Green” category. The award-winning technology, an electric motor without rare earths, sets new standards in electromobility by dispensing with magnets and improving sustainability with the same performance. 🏆 “This award is a recognition of our continuous efforts to develop innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for electromobility,” says Otmar Scharrer, Head of Engineering Electrified Powertrain Technology at ZF. “With our electric motor, we are demonstrating a more sustainable alternative to conventional solutions that does not require the use of rare earths and at the same time offers maximum performance.”

A growing footprint for a growing market. When it comes to new energy vehicles, China continues to lead the charge. And with the opening of a new e-mobility plant in Shenyang, ZF strengthens its position in this high-value market. Its main products will be electric axle drives, based on ZF’s modular electric drive platform, including motors, power electronics and reducers. With the new Shenyang location, ZF advances its localization strategy for China. Among other things, shorter supply lines, as well as immediate access to raw materials, equipment and R&D, opens new business opportunities. The plant will help to accelerate ZF’s strategic development in the e-mobility sector and contribute to the Group’s long-term success.

More range, less CO₂: "TrailTrax" is the name of ZF's new drive system to electrify truck semitrailers. The all-in-one solution is based on the proven "AxTrax 2" electric axle from ZF. TrailTrax saves fuel and thus CO₂. It will help vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators to already prepare for the upcoming legislation on decarbonization.

And the winner is the ZF Bike Eco System 👏 We are extremely proud that our new e-bike drive system has won the German Design Award 2025 from the Rat für Formgebung - German Design Council! The ZF Bike Eco System has been awarded in the "Excellent Product Design - Bicycles and E-Bikes" category. First launched at the Eurobike 2024, the ZF Bike Eco System offers massive performance in a compact design. It includes all drive components such as e-motor, batteries, control units, app and a connection to the cloud. The core component is the ZF CentriX drive unit with an ultra-compact, 90 Newton meter mid-motor. #germandesignaward #ToMobilityandBeyond #zfebike #ebike #freedomontwowheels

We were delighted to welcome the United States’ Chargé d‘Affaires Alan Meltzer and Consul General Brian Heath to our Saarbrücken site! Their visit was an excellent opportunity for an exchange about our ongoing transition towards e-mobility. We discussed the unique challenges and economic conditions of the European market, especially in comparison to the American market, highlighting our activities in the United States. The insightful exchange covered, among other things, the legal framework conditions and technological progress and the development of the e-mobility landscape. A big thank you to the Chargé d‘Affaires Alan Meltzer, Consul General Brian Heath and his delegation for their valuable visit and the enriching exchange! #Saarland #Transformation #emobility U.S. Consulate General Frankfurt
