INNOTRANS: At this year’s show, ZF will present its modular EcoMet gearbox for metro vehicles and a wheelset gearbox used in combination with EcoWorld, a fuel-saving powershift transmission.
Also on display will be the digital condition monitoring system connect@rail, which demonstrates how integrated sensors and advanced data analysis tools can further improve efficiency, reliability and safety.
The modular connect@rail platform offers various features, from wireless component identification to monitoring of flat spots, wheel-tread wear, tracks and driveline components. As it can be integrated and retrofitted into existing vehicle platforms and is not dependent on ZF-proprietary hardware, it offers manufacturers and fleet operators an efficient way to reduce maintenance downtimes.
