A location with visions

In view of this sustainable mobility, ZF has made major investments in machines and systems as well as in the training of its employees. The vehicles of the future will require powerful, efficient and lightweight drive systems, which is an important focus in Schweinfurt. Mönig focuses on efficiency and CO2 reduction in all production steps, supported by the Green Power Roadmap, which aims for climate neutrality by 2040, with Schweinfurt having already set itself a target of 2030.

Innovations and solutions for tomorrow

ZF’s innovation portfolio is broad. With the electric drive platform called SELECT, the company offers solutions that include both electric and hybrid drives. The increasing interest in hybrid technologies shows that ZF is continually improving in order to offer customers the best solutions. With products such as the Modular eDrive Kit, which was recently presented at the IAA, ZF is positioning itself as a sought-after system provider for next-generation mobility. A particular focus is on improving the range of electric vehicles, supported by the development of the new thermal management system TherMaS, which optimizes thermal performance, zf.com highlights.
