"We see ourselves as designers and pacemakers for the mobility of tomorrow," said ZF CEO Holger Klein at the start of the "Global Technology Day" on the supplier's test track in Jeversen north of Hanover. The aim is to build on our own strengths and set the right course, in short, a strong focus on particularly successful business divisions. At the same time, ZF also gives other areas the necessary space to develop more quickly and agilely in the market. With the positively formulated outlook, Klein means partnerships or spin-offs into independence. As concrete examples of this realignment of the supplier, he mentioned, among other things, the partnership with Foxconn for axle system assembly as well as the Passive Safety division, which now operates in the market as ZF Lifetec.
