Germany's Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen AG (ZF), with its presence at the Bus2Bus trade show in Berlin, won’s the International Busplaner Sustainability Prize 2024 in the Vehicle Components category for its CeTrax 2 dual. The award, from the German Huss publishing house, recognizes their efforts in developing environmental sustainability for the bus industry.
The CeTrax 2 dual by ZF is a heavy-duty electric drive designed to replace fixed transmissions in vehicles. It combines ICE and electric drivetrains in one vehicle platform. Featuring with two 800 Volt silicon carbide (SiC) inverters, it offers 380 kW continuous power and 24,700 Nm peak torque for up to 44-ton vehicles. Its 3-speed transmission with 2 e-actuators ensures efficiency, smooth acceleration, and quiet operation.
Mr. Bernd Wachter, ZF’s Sales Director, EMEA, said, "This award is further confirmation of how ZF's technologies are leading the way in electrifying different vehicle segments to help the industry significantly reduce carbon emissions. “This recognition underscores ZF’s position as the preferred development partner for leading bus and coach manufacturers in making electrification technologies a viable alternative to the traditional combustion engine."
The award was presented to ZF on the eve of the Bus2Bus trade show in Berlin (24-25 April 2024). There, alongside the CeTrax 2 dual, ZF presented its latest innovations for decarbonization, safety and digitalization for the bus and coach industry.
