ZF to unveil modular electric bus drivetrains at Mobility Move 2026 Berlin
ZF will present new modular electric drive systems for city and intercity buses at Mobility Move 2026 in Berlin from 10 to 12 March. The systems combine electric motors, silicon carbide inverters, three-speed transmissions and additional components in a modular architecture designed for integration across multiple bus applications. ZF states the configuration enables higher performance, increased efficiency and reduced energy consumption for city bus manufacturers.
Why it matters
The modular drivetrain architecture offers bus operators and OEMs flexible integration options across different vehicle concepts, potentially simplifying procurement and reducing customisation costs. The use of silicon carbide inverters and three-speed transmissions signals a technical shift that may influence upcoming electric bus tenders and fleet specifications.
