Product Description:
Aided by the ZF Swap Body Pilot function, the unmanned ZF Innovation Truck maneuvers around the depot.
As soon as the driver has entered the premises, he can get out, activate the autonomous driving mode and then take his mandatory break. The truck will find its way to the target position, driving autonomously and electrically. Once there, the truck will unload any swap bodies it may already have loaded using its Swap Body Pilot function. Likewise, the ZF Innovation Truck will then load a new container autonomously.
The fact that the truck is able to maneuver exactly under the swap body is a central advantage of the Swap Body Pilot: This driving maneuver is extremely demanding when carried out manually, even for experienced truck drivers. Controlled by ZF proAI, a centralized computer, the ZF Innovation Truck always manages these tasks quickly and precisely.
While ZF proAI is the ZF Innovation Truck’s brain, other ZF technologies enable it to act: the active electrohydraulic ReAX commercial vehicle steering system and the TraXon Hybrid automatic transmission system, among other types of technology. The latter is characterized by a modular integrated electric motor that allows locally emission-free driving. A camera-based and laser-supported sensor setup, complete with GPS system, gives the truck its orientation and view.
