On May 14, 2014, the "2014 Beijing International Road Transport, City Bus and Parts Exhibition" was successfully held at the Beijing National Convention Center. ZF , the top supplier of automotive components for the global transmission and chassis technology area, came with its products and demonstrated its full range of undercarriage products.

In the passenger vehicle package, ZF’s high-end image is deeply rooted in people’s minds, and passenger car products have become its main segment. When it comes to the commercial vehicle market, ZF has a very small share of its business in China. According to statistics, ZF’s commercial vehicle products are currently less than 10% of their products. However, the success of ZF and Beiben in 2013 will probably open up a new journey for ZF in the field of commercial vehicles in China.

At the exhibition site, the reporter noticed ZF's 4021 booth. The location did not show up with most of the auto parts companies. Instead, there were commercial vehicles such as Nanjing Jinlong, Futian and Xiwo. It is no coincidence that such a booth arrangement seems to have validated some time ago that Dr. Ip Kwok-hong, the president of ZF (China) Investment Co., Ltd., expressed the view that ZF should have “big action” in the commercial vehicle sector.

The matter was quickly verified. The reporter learned from the relevant staff of ZF Drive Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. that ZF will focus on the electric drive axles AVE130 and ZF North. Bento mechanical transmission 6T1580, ZF Beiben mechanical transmission 5T1280 and other commercial vehicles supporting products.

As one of the world's top ten auto parts suppliers, ZF has 121 production sites in 27 countries. Since entering the Chinese market in 1980, ZF has never stopped its own progress. At present, ZF has already established 24 production bases in the mainland of China, and it intends to further increase its investment in China.
