This week, as CES showcases the latest mobility innovations, I’m thrilled to share that ZF has secured a significant brake-by-wire business win, equipping nearly 5 million vehicles with groundbreaking by-wire solutions. This achievement reinforces ZF’s position as the world’s leading supplier of complete chassis solutions. By combining steering, braking, dampers, actuators and software into a single division, we’ve created the most comprehensive portfolio in the industry. It’s a strategy that’s delivering real value for our customers and actively shaping the transformation to software-defined vehicles. The Electro-Mechanical Brake at the heart of this system eliminates the need for hydraulic fluid, offering a “dry brake-by-wire” solution that not only boosts efficiency but also opens new possibilities for safety and energy recovery. Paired with ZF’s Integrated Brake Control and innovative steering technologies, this hybrid system represents the perfect balance of performance, flexibility and sustainability. This isn’t just about advancing technology — it’s about redefining what’s possible. By-wire systems like these enable vehicles to autonomously react in critical situations, improving safety in ways we’ve only imagined until now. As the automotive industry evolves, ZF remains focused on delivering solutions that meet the demands of today while paving the way for tomorrow. It’s an exciting time to be part of a team shaping the future of mobility.  Read the full announcement at: https://bit.ly/40qfOk3.   #CES2025 #Chassis #AutomotiveNews #ByWire #ZFGroup

Who Grew, Who Shrank? Revenue Shifts by Tier (2023–2024) The 2024 data show sharp contrasts in the automotive supply chain. 🏆 Winners 🇩🇪Schaeffler +75.0%, while Vitesco's full integration is a big part of it, reinventing itself around electrification and systems integration was the main strategy. 🇮🇳Motherson +21.6%, M&A + expanding wiring and modules globally. 🇯🇵JTEKT +17.1%, exchange rates + leveraging steering and driveline systems for EVs ❌ Losers 🇯🇵Panasonic Automotive -47.6%, restructuring and losing share in batteries/infotainment 🇩🇪Eberspächer -20.3%, hit by ICE decline 🇨🇳CATL –14.8%, suffering from overcapacity and price wars in EV batteries. This year proves one thing: transformation is not optional! Traditional Tier 1s that adapt are winning big. Those stuck in declining segments or squeezed by price wars are feeling the pain.

At the end of a busy opening day at IAA MOBILITY, MAHLE CEO Arnd Franz delivered his keynote “Hybrid Engines as Enablers of Individual Mobility of the Future” on the main stage of IAA Conference. BEV adoption is slowed by high costs, raw material constraints, limited charging infrastructure, and consumer hesitation. Plug-In Hybrids (PHEVs) & Range-Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs) offer a practical, long-term solution: 🔹Cost & Resource Efficiency: smaller batteries cut costs and material demand without compromising long-distance capability. 🔹Practical Mobility: zero-emission capability for cities, long-distance travel without range anxiety, and use of existing refueling networks. 🔹Decarbonization Enabler: compatible with renewable fuels and essential in the electrification mix until BEVs reach full maturity. Hybrids deliver affordable, convenient, and sustainable e-mobility—and MAHLE has the technology to make it happen today: the motor of e-mobility. Our Range Extender System combines an ultra-efficient 800V high-voltage generator with a compact combustion engine designed for the use of renewable fuels. The high-efficiency system delivers up to 1,350km on a single charge—ending range anxiety and driving mass adoption of e-mobility. #MAHLE #MAHLEIAA #IAAMobility #IAA25 #CEOKeynote #TheMotorOfEmobility #Hybrids #Electrification #WeShapeFutureMobility
