ZF's Vision for AI-Powered Commercial Vehicles | SDVs, ADAS & Automation | ZF Global Technology Day

At the ZF Global Technology Day - Driving Commercial Vehicle Innovation Press Conference, Ivan Brajdic, Head of R&D, Commercial Vehicle Solutions Division at ZF, presents the technologies that will shape the next generation of trucks and buses. The presentation explores how commercial vehicles are evolving beyond electrification toward software-defined architectures, AI-enabled development, intelligent braking, connected ecosystems, and scalable vehicle platforms. Ivan explains why commercial vehicles require a different approach from passenger cars, with greater emphasis on flexibility, total cost of ownership, and return on investment. A major focus of the session is the transition toward Software-Defined Commercial Vehicles (SDCVs), where cloud connectivity, over-the-air updates, AI-driven optimization, and high-performance computing will gradually transform fleet operations, safety, and efficiency. He also shares how ZF is building scalable global platforms, combining braking and e-drive intelligence, supporting multiple electrification pathways, and preparing commercial vehicles for autonomous and connected mobility. Key highlights from the presentation: ✔️ The future of Software-Defined Commercial Vehicles (SDCVs) ✔️ Why commercial vehicles need a different SDV approach than passenger cars ✔️ AI-driven vehicle development and intelligent fleet optimization ✔️ Cloud-connected vehicles and over-the-air software updates ✔️ High-performance computing for next-generation trucks and buses ✔️ Intelligent braking and e-drive integration for improved efficiency ✔️ Scalable global platforms for trucks, buses, and trailers ✔️ Hybrid technology as a bridge to commercial vehicle electrification ✔️ ADAS, autonomous driving, and connected commercial vehicle ecosystems ✔️ ZF's roadmap toward Zero Accidents and Zero Emissions This session provides valuable insights for OEMs, fleet operators, suppliers, engineers, and anyone interested in the future of commercial vehicle technology, software-defined mobility, and AI-powered transportation. 📍 Event: ZF Global Technology Day - Driving Commercial Vehicle Innovation Press Conference #ZF #ZFGroup #ZFGlobalTechnologyDay #SoftwareDefinedVehicle #SDV #CommercialVehicles #TruckTechnology #BusTechnology #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AutonomousDriving #ADAS #ConnectedVehicles #HybridTrucks #ElectricTrucks #FleetManagement #SmartMobility #CommercialVehicleInnovation #Transportation #MOTORINDIA
