ZF, a global leader in driveline and chassis technology, is making a significant impact at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, where it is showcasing its latest innovations in mobility solutions. ZF’s presence at the event highlights its commitment to advancing sustainable and intelligent transportation in India, aiming to redefine the nation’s mobility landscape through technological excellence.
'We are excited to present ZF's state-of-the-art mobility solutions at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025,' said Mr. Akash Passey, President of ZF Group India. 'India is a strategic market for ZF, and we are dedicated to helping facilitate the nation’s shift towards a sustainable, safe, and interconnected mobility ecosystem. Our focus on technological innovation aligns closely with the dynamic growth of India’s automotive industry, and we are ready to meet the evolving needs of both domestic and global players in the transportation sector.'
One of the key highlights at ZF’s booth is the introduction of its X-by-Wire technology, being showcased in India for the first time. X-by-Wire technology replaces traditional mechanical and hydraulic linkages with electronic signals, enabling increased vehicle customization and improved safety. With by-wire systems, ZF is paving the way for the next generation of software-defined vehicles that promise enhanced driving comfort and safety. These fully electronic, networked systems offer superior vehicle control, enhanced steering flexibility, and increased stability at high speeds. The display features various X-by-Wire components, including brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, and electronically controlled active damping systems, all demonstrating the potential for future vehicles with unparalleled levels of autonomy and personalization.
In addition to its work in passenger vehicles, ZF is presenting its advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for commercial vehicles. These systems include cutting-edge radar and camera technologies that enhance vehicle safety and efficiency. Among the standout products is the OnGuardMAX Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS), which is complemented by Short-Range Radar for improved object detection and a Reversing Camera to enhance safety. These solutions are designed to make roads safer and reduce accidents by supporting drivers with real-time data and intelligent decision-making capabilities.
ZF’s commitment to sustainable mobility is evident in the wide range of electrification and connectivity solutions on display at the expo. A key product is the CeTrax 2 dual, an integrated and modular electric central drive designed for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and coaches. This technology is critical in enabling the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, ZF is showcasing SCALAR, its next-generation fleet management solution, which uses real-time data and predictive analytics to streamline and optimise mixed fleet operations, offering fleet owners significant efficiency improvements.
One of the most exciting new products unveiled at the expo is the e-comp Air Lite, a lightweight, cost-efficient electric-driven compressor engineered for medium-duty commercial EVs and hybrid vehicles. Designed specifically for the Indian and Asian markets, the e-comp Air Lite features a compact 2-cylinder design and an automatic shut-off feature to improve energy efficiency when air is not required, making it an ideal solution for low air-demanding applications.
Safety remains a core focus for ZF, and the company is showcasing its Electronic Braking System and Electronic Stability Control technologies, which contribute to improved safety and handling in a variety of vehicle types. These solutions further illustrate ZF’s leadership in providing reliable, efficient technologies for the mobility sector.
ZF is also highlighting its localized construction equipment transmission, the Ergo Power II, designed to meet the demands of the off-highway industry. This innovative transmission integrates electronic driveline management, reduces operational costs, and provides high-performance capabilities, making it a valuable solution for the evolving needs of construction equipment.
ZF’s competitive edge lies in its diverse portfolio of advanced technologies and its strategic focus on design-to-market solutions. With strengths in e-mobility, commercial vehicle technology, and industrial solutions, ZF is uniquely positioned to lead the charge in the next generation of mobility. Furthermore, its commitment to localising products and optimising manufacturing and engineering capabilities ensures its agility and resilience in the market.
The future-oriented technologies showcased at the ZF Group booth underscore the company’s position as a technology leader, equipped with a robust systems capability. Through its intelligent solutions for megatrends such as electrification, autonomy, and connectivity, ZF is helping to create a vision for vehicles that can see, think, and act. This reinforces ZF’s role as a key player in the evolution of mobility in India, driving the nation towards a safer, more sustainable, and more efficient future.
