ZF Bus Low-Floor Axle System

The independent suspension front axle RL82EC for low-floor, low-entrance and double-decker buses is the leading technology in the field of axle manufacturing. The intelligently designed spring and damping system, high-strength and weight-optimized components not only ensure the benchmark driving safety and driving comfort, but also adopt a lightweight design concept, which greatly improves the reliability. In addition, the turning radius is reduced by 1m (the same wheelbase) compared to the rigid front axle, which improves the vehicle’s mobility. The independent suspension perfectly integrates the best steering operation and excellent driving comfort. With the bus equipped with ZF front axle system, passengers no longer need to step on many steps to get on the bus. At present, the RL 82 EC independent suspension front axle has become an industry benchmark for comfort and safety.
　　 The drive axle AV133, which is compatible with the independent suspension front axle RL82 EC, is a dedicated drive axle for low-floor buses. The first drive axle product A133 developed and designed by the local ZF commercial vehicle team can be widely used in current traditional energy and new energy commercial vehicles. The new structural design of the product can greatly reduce its own weight. The total weight of the axle system is less than 1000 kg, which significantly improves the transmission efficiency; combined with the newly designed active and passive gears with a wide range of speed ratios, it can further reduce the energy of the vehicle during operation. Consumption; The compact modular design reserves more space for the layout of the vehicle, which means that more energy storage equipment can be added for new energy commercial vehicles.
