ZF Presents New Tech Solutions for Trucks At Comtrans 2019
ZF has
recently presented a variety of technical solutions for large and medium-sized
vehicles at the 15-th international exhibition of commercial vehicles Comtrans
2019 hosted in Moscow.
According to ZF representatives, visitors of the show had a chance to see the latest transmission solutions at the ZF booth: modular automated transmission TraXon intended for heavy trucks, automated transmission EcoTronic, automatic transmission EcoLife, and a transfer case TC27. These developments, as stated by ZF, are notable for lightweight designs with a low level of harmful emissions and noise pollution, as well as high fuel efficiency. In addition, ZF also showcased in Moscow several solutions designed specifically for city buses: the central e-drive CeTrax and the electric bridge-type axle AxTrax AVE, which can be adapted in existing automobile platforms without any significant changes to the chassis design.

The ZF’s stand at Comtrans 2019 also exhibited
the electric power steering known as ReAX (which “analyzes” the driving style
as well as the applied steering force and makes the process of driving easier
and more precise), the steering booster pump with the e-actuator eActivMode (which
enhances fuel economy and regulates the overall system temperature).
To enhance comfort and safety when driving, ZF offers air suspension and a pneumatic module with an adjusting mechanism to maintain a constant cab position (CALM). Special attention during the exhibition was paid to the CDC shock absorber with electronic stiffness control. This absorber flexibly and accurately adapts to a specific road situation and, regardless of the road surface, keeps the vehicle in the most stable position.
