ZF highlights intelligent software solutions for smarter, more connected commercial vehicles
Summary
By integrating ZF’s intelligent software solutions with its chassis technologies, vehicle performance and safety can be improved, ensuring safer and smoother journeys. In doing so, the system maximizes energy recuperation to recharge the onboard batteries during driving, effectively extending the vehicle’s range. The system also offers improved launch capabilities by optimizing the traction control function, reducing tire wear and enhancing vehicle performance and stability on slippery ground. ZF has developed a software solution that helps replace hardware in the form of brake resistors for battery electric vehicles. The system demonstrates how an intelligent server-cloud based function can save cost and weight while improving efficiency and sustainability.
