ZF's e-comp Scroll oil-free air compressor for electric vehicles uses two interlocking scrolls to generate compressed air with very low noise and vibration. At a nominal operating point of 250 liters per minute, noise emissions are limited to around 67 dB(A), supporting NVH requirements for quieter electrified commercial vehicles.
In active safety, ZF presented its GSR-compliant ADAS suite for buses, including Intelligent Speed Assist, Blind Spot Information System, Driver Monitoring System, and Event Data Recorder. The scalable portfolio combines camera, radar, and software into coordinated systems. ZF also highlighted ZF Bus Connect telematics, which connects driveline, braking, and auxiliary systems to enable predictive maintenance and fleet optimization.
Why this matters
These technologies help bus manufacturers and fleets reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, and comply with safety regulations, supporting the shift to cleaner and more efficient public transport.
