ZF is a German parts maker that supplies components to automakers including Audi, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, and Mercedes-Benz. Now, the company is looking to apply some of the technologies it has developed for racing cars to production electric vehicles (EVs).

ZF has been supplying components to Formula E teams since the all-electric racing series began in 2014. In 2019, the company became the exclusive supplier of drivetrains for the series.

The company has also been supplying parts to the all-electric Porsche Taycan, which went on sale last year. And it is supplying battery packs to BMW for the i3 electric car.

Now, ZF wants to use its experience with EVs to develop new technologies for production cars. The company is already working on a new type of inverter that is smaller, lighter, and more efficient than current designs. It is also working on a new generation of electric motors that are smaller and more powerful.

ZF is also planning to develop a new transmission for EVs. The company says that the transmission will be more efficient than current designs and will be able to handle higher torque loads. This will allow EVs to have a longer range and faster acceleration.

ZF is not the only company looking to apply racing technologies to production EVs. Porsche is also using its experience in Formula E to develop new technologies for the Taycan. And Audi is using its experience in Formula E to develop new technologies for the e-tron SUV.

The move to develop new technologies for EVs is a wise one for ZF. The global market for EVs is expected to grow from 2 million units in 2020 to 11 million units by 2025. This rapid growth is expected to continue through the 2030s. And as EVs become more popular, the demand for components will only increase.
