What Happened
ZF Aftermarket has officially launched ZF [pro]Tech plus in Mexico, extending its workshop development program to independent repair shops there. The program equips technicians with practical knowledge across transmissions, hybrid and high-voltage systems, ADAS and advanced chassis technologies. ZF says this helps workshops confidently service increasingly complex vehicles and strengthen long-term business performance. The launch follows the program's introduction at INA PAACE Automechanika in July, and the first ZF [pro]Tech plus training event in Mexico attracted nearly 30 technicians.

ZF Aftermarket plans to significantly expand its ZF [pro]Tech start and ZF [pro]Tech plus workshop network in Mexico.
Participants gain access to structured training, technical resources and direct engagement with ZF experts, which ZF says helps workshops build capabilities, stay current with vehicle technology trends and strengthen long-term business performance. The company frames the launch as part of a longer-term commitment to workshop success through practical training, advanced technical knowledge and expert support. It also points to electrification, connectivity and advanced chassis systems as reasons why specialized technical education is becoming increasingly important for independent repair professionals.
Why this matters
Independent repair shops in Mexico increasingly face vehicles built around hybrid and high-voltage systems, driver assistance and electronic chassis controls. ZF says the program gives technicians hands-on skills that improve diagnostic accuracy, repair quality and confidence, and it plans to expand its workshop network in the country over the next two years.
