Virtual reality garage journey shows seamless transfer of ZF technology into connected aftermarket

ZF Aftermarket drives “complete solutions provider” message
ZF Services [pro]Tech technical training concept reinforces commitment to aftermarket of the future.

ZF Aftermarket used this year’s Automechanika Birmingham to highlight how its global technological power positions it as a complete ‘solutions provider’ to the current and future aftermarket.

In addition to introducing a UK audience to ZF’s Advanced Urban Vehicle technologies, the business offered a virtual reality garage tour illustrating its parts and service brand portfolio: Sachs, Lemförder, TRW, Boge and Openmatics and showcased how its technical training concept ZF Services [pro]Tech will future proof global garages.

From an impressive, centrally positioned stand, ZF Aftermarket highlighted how with the backing of the innovative technology of the ZF Group it is a complete solutions provider, best placed and fully committed to serving the aftermarket of today and the future with its parts and services.

Advanced urban vehicle

ZF’s Advanced Urban Vehicle is a concept study which demonstrates solutions already feasible for urban individual transport in the compact and subcompact segments.

The study incorporated: ZF’s cloud-based “PreVision Cloud Assist” driver assistance function; the multifunction steering wheel featuring a display with OLED technology and the hands on/off detection (HOD) which offers assistance and automated driving functions to reduce the driver’s workload – such as in urban traffic.

Alongside this, the study marks a starting point from which concepts for future urban mobility can be derived specifically in the businesses chosen areas of expertise: chassis, driveline and driver assistance systems.

An example of this is the ability for the vehicle to park itself; saving driver time and maximizing space in cities where it is at a premium.

The business used virtual reality (VR) allowing visitors to experience a journey through a garage, highlighting parts from the brand portfolio.

Kevin Price, UK marketing manager at ZF Aftermarket said: “This was a great way for customers to experience how our brands and their respective parts work in harmony; in the garage, in the vehicle and within the individual systems.

Technical support for workshops

“By wrapping this up in the ZF Services [pro]Tech concept –  which provides independent workshops with technical support and training to future proof their businesses – this exercise put the concept of the one-stop-shop from ZF Aftermarket into context and allowed visitors to see the bigger picture.”
