Car suppliers at the Hannover Commercial Vehicle Show: Safer, cleaner and greener
German transmission manufacturer ZF presented a series of modular hybrid transmissions at this show; these systems can be used in a range of models. Although many powertrain manufacturers have had successful experiences in developing hybrid transmission systems for specific models, ZF has successfully developed a series of hybrid powertrains that can be integrated into any car manufacturer. It can be said that ZF is the leader in this "safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly" revolution. As an old rival of ZF, Allison will also launch their new hybrid powertrain in 2009. Allison did not disclose much of this system's information, but inferred that Allison’s hybrid drive system should be able to be used, assuming that Allison had matched their hybrid drive system to many bus companies. Various heavy truck companies. Konor showed a parking sensor at the show. When the driver is parked, this sensor can alert the driver that the car is near a wall or other obstacle. Continental Continental Tire Company demonstrated their tire pressure detection system. This system allows the driver to grasp the tire pressure conditions of each tire in the cab. At Continental Tire's booth, there is also a new car navigation system that can detect stationary objects on the truck's road and decelerate the truck until it stops; the navigator also reads the road conditions and guides the driver on the correct road. Bosch Rexroth demonstrated their improved hydraulic hybrid system, which is mainly used in urban bus vehicles. After the vehicle is parked, it can store car start-up energy and instantaneously release it when the vehicle is restarted, thereby greatly improving the vehicle's starting performance and saving time. Although the energy shortages, raw material prices, vehicle operating costs and other unfavorable factors continue to impact the automotive industry, but the exploration of the tireless efforts of many auto companies, but it highlights the infinite power of this industry development. "Safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly" will not only be an idea, they will become a reality in the automotive industry.
