How do you show what you can not see in everyday life? How do you explain what happens automatically? How do you demonstrate competence when your own products are always known under the label of the big brands? Just as ZF did at the commercial vehicle trade fair 2016 in Hannover. With a truck made of acrylic glass.
The ZF Innovation Truck, the safety under the sheet metal dress looked
ZF has a vision. The "Vision zero". And with it 100% security. The vision of accident-free driving. But does ZF not build cars at all? Right. The vehicles come from the big brands, but without the big suppliers there would be no progress. And ZF is one of the pacemakers for this progress. You research, you develop and then you offer complete system solutions. The automobile manufacturers use these modules.
LAKE. THINK. ACT.
It is ZF's systems that help vehicles capture the environment, assess situations, and then respond accordingly. From the radar system via camera units to active rear axle steering and integrated braking systems. It's know-how from Germany, ZF know-how that has made cars safer and smarter for years. For the ZF Group, big and well-known for its elaborate mechanics, precision and expertise in gear manufacturing, the transformation in the automotive industry is an exciting challenge. The changes take account. Away from pure mechanics, to a group that combines all disciplines of modern vehicle construction. The pursuit of efficiency and the lowering of emissions leads to electric drives. Electrification is about to make a breakthrough. And at the same time, our cars are getting smarter. Clever rifles on wheels, which will soon bring us autonomously from A to B. And ZF sees itself at the forefront in the development of future technologies.
From the car to the truck
mein-auto-blog started as a pure autoblog, the world of trucks was left out. But there is a lot more going on in this world than in cars. So it's time to look around a little more! The famous “last mile”, city delivery traffic - it continues to grow and is becoming more and more important. At the same time, globalization can no longer be imagined without long-distance haulage.
Safety in professional trucking? A little noticed topic. It only gets into the headlines when a truck drives into the end of a traffic jam again. With its “Innovation Truck”, ZF shows that just as much is happening on the subject of truck safety.
Safety for Brummi drivers
Together with the colleagues of rad-ab.com and ausfahrt.tv has my auto blog on the Commercial Vehicle IAA on the ZF stand looked around. And ZF has come up with a special showpiece. A truck made entirely of acrylic glass. At this truck one becomes aware for the first time, where everywhere ZF is in it. It's best to watch the VIDEO!
