Ride comfort in commercial vehicles is considerably enhanced by suspension technology and cabin damping. At the booth on display was the ZF cab dampers which provide greater safety, comfort, and stability. Additionally, there were products on suspension technology like torque rods, ball joints, axial tie rods which were on display.

“Excon India was the perfect platform for us to showcase our well established power-shift driveline technology for construction machinery, reducing emissions significantly and fulfilling the new TIER 4 emission norms already today. Manufacturing axles and transmissions in Coimbatore, we are also committed to “Make in India”. On top of this, we wanted to talk about Intelligent Mechanical Systems and how ZF is able to enhance existing mechanical drivelines with electrified components, assistance- or safety functions like GPS, radar, sensor and camera systems. This is how our systems expertise will enable vehicles to see>think>and act”, says Alexander Eisner, Head of Product Communications for Off-Highway Systems at ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
