ZF now adds ADAS sensors for commercial vehicles to its aftermarket offer

ZF Aftermarket is offering ADAS sensors for commercial vehicles on the independent aftermarket for the first time under its WABCO brand.

These are the front camera for the OnLaneALERT lane departure warning system and the radar sensor for the OnGuardACTIVE automatic emergency braking system.

The ADAS sensors are the latest highlight in ZF Aftermarket’s extensive portfolio of commercial vehicle parts available under its brands ZF, Lemförder, Sachs, TRW and WABCO.

ZF offers ADAS for buses and trucks

Trucks have had to be equipped with automatic emergency braking assistants and lane departure warning systems since 2015. From 2024, further driver assistance systems will become mandatory throughout the EU. These include, for example, the speed assistant, a turning assistant or the accident data recorder. For independent commercial vehicle workshops, the challenges of the maintenance and repair of trucks and buses are growing. In this instance because driver assistance systems need to be checked and recalibrated after a repair. To do this, workshops also need access to the right spare parts, in particular to the sensors that supply the data for the driver assistance systems.

ZF offers a comprehensive product portfolio for this market with over 70,000 part numbers following the integration of WABCO and introduces more than 400 new commercial vehicle spare parts every year.

With these new additions, independent workshops now have the opportunity to carry out a complete repair without having to forego cooperation with their usual supplier, particularly in the case of accident repairs. However, ZF Aftermarket points out that sensors must be programmed with the vehicle manufacturer’s original diagnostic software after installation.
