On November 14, ZF Commercial vehicle Solutions Division held a Chinese media conference in Jinan to fully demonstrate its latest strategy and achievements in promoting the transformation of green intelligence in the field of commercial vehicles.
The theme of this event is “braving the wind and waves, the one who works hard first”.
Wang Runyi, executive vice president of Zaifu Group, president of China and president of Asia-Pacific Operations, explained: “in the face of the complex and changeable market environment, strive for survival, strive for development, and become stronger in the wind and waves.
” it is the common pursuit of Zaifu and its customers.
Local enterprises go global, while continuously consolidate their domestic foundation.
ZF always adhere to the “customer-centered”, co-growth with the local ecology, in-depth localization, while relying on global advanced technology and rich experience, actively support customers to expand domestic and foreign markets.
” Wang Runyi, executive vice president of ZF Group, president of China, and president of Asia-Pacific Operations, localization strategy: get close to customers and meet the diversified needs of the Chinese market.
China is one of the important strategic markets for ZF commercial vehicles.
The company has been committed to accelerating the deep localization of supply chain, manufacturing and R & D, providing more cost-effective customized solutions to meet local market needs and maintain a leading position.
Zaifu commercial vehicles are gradually promoting the localization of mechanical parts to electromechanical and pure electronic parts, so as to improve the security and response speed of the supply chain.
In China, Zaifu commercial vehicles have 9 manufacturing bases, distributed in Jiaxing, Qingdao, Jinan, Shanghai, Taishan, Shiyan, Changchun and other cities.
Through the localization of supply chain and manufacturing, ZF optimizes costs, improves efficiency, responds quickly to market demand and changes, and supports sustained business growth.
The local R & D capability of ZF commercial vehicles is not only the core of the Asia-Pacific region, but also plays an increasingly important role in the global system.
The R & D and testing centers in Jinan and Jiaxing have first-class testing and verification capabilities and have been certified by China National Accreditation Committee for conformity Assessment (CNAS) and Automotive Industry Information Security Management system (TISAX).
The Chinese R & D team has expanded from customer application engineering to the full stack R & D capability covering the whole V model development, which can serve the Asia-Pacific market and customers in an all-round way and achieve self-sufficiency in R & D resources.
Adhering to the concept of “going to the site” and “dialogue with parts”, R & D personnel strengthen the close relationship between product development and manufacturing, and ensure the robustness and cost competitiveness of design, manufacturing and supply chain in the process of localization.
Zaifu also continues to accelerate the improvement of local R & D capabilities through knowledge transfer programs.
Based on the insight into the requirements of local laws and regulations and the special needs of the market, ZF has developed an OnGuardMAX advanced driving assistance system in line with China’s pedestrian protection laws and regulations.
In August this year, ZF mass produced an enhanced version of the OnGuardMAX in China, adding advanced features such as full-speed adaptive cruise control (FSR ACC), which includes automatic car-following start and stop, to improve fuel efficiency and driving safety.
In response to the decarbonization demand of China’s commercial vehicle market, ZF introduced Chuansheng second-generation hybrid transmission TraXon 2 Hybrid, which provides a transition path for decarbonization.
At the same time, ZF has also introduced the latest electric solutions for commercial vehicles around the world, including advanced electric drive bridge series and central electric drive system, demonstrating an open attitude and technical strength in promoting carbon reduction in the industry.

As the world’s leading international commercial vehicle parts supplier, ZF relies on advanced technology, global vision and strong brand influence to provide all-round support and guarantee for Chinese commercial vehicle companies to successfully go to sea.
Zaifu introduces internationally advanced products and technologies to empower customers to go out to sea.
Recently, ZF has provided its industry-leading electronic braking system (EBS) for a newly released all-electric long-distance truck on behalf of the new power of heavy truck in China, ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle and escorting its long-distance transportation.
With an in-depth understanding of regulations, markets, technical requirements and operational scenarios in different regions of the world, ZF is able to tailor compliance solutions for its customers to support its differentiation strategy in overseas markets.
In October this year, ZF successfully provided domestic head bus enterprises with advanced solutions in line with European GSR regulations, covering key technologies such as ADAS and braking system.
In the future, a mBSP modular braking system based on electric buses will be developed.
In order to meet the high-level functional requirements, ZF has developed customized versions of AEB (automatic emergency braking system) and ACC (adaptive cruise control) to meet EU standards for its electric vehicles, thus consolidating the customer’s competitive advantage in the European market.
In response to the functional needs of overseas end customers, ZF launched CMS (collision Mitigation system), which aims to provide customers around the world with a safer and more reliable driving experience.
With the experience of China, Zhihui Global, China is gradually taking the lead in the transformation of the global commercial vehicle industry to green energy and intelligence.
Through deep cooperation and innovative practice with Chinese commercial vehicle companies, Zaifu commercial vehicles have accumulated advanced experience, which can benefit not only the Chinese market, but also the rest of the world.
Recently, ZF and Foton Motors deepened their strategic cooperation to launch the new commercial vehicle hybrid transmission system in China, and signed an agreement with Geely long-distance new energy commercial vehicles to jointly create a full range of new energy commercial vehicle products and intelligent solutions, providing a new growth point for the development of different technology paths in overseas markets.
Cooperation in the field of new energy such as methanol enables ZF to make technical preparations ahead of time for the future needs of the international market, so that customers around the world can share its technological achievements.
In view of China’s complex topography and road conditions, ZF has developed technologies and solutions for the Chinese market that can adapt to complex working conditions, and these successful cases will also provide reference for other markets around the world.
