VISION ZERO- A STEP CLOSER TO SMART & SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

ZF is consistently pursuing the goal “Vision Zero” – mobility with zero accidents and zero emissions. With its technologies, ZF has the tools to help make driving a vehicle safer and cleaner in the future.
A lot has changed in the automobile industry since the time of horses and carriages. It is facing one of its biggest and most important transitions till now, which comes to be called as smart mobility. Smart mobility in simple terms is a way to move people and goods using new technology that is faster, cleaner, more accessible and less expensive. It is about striving toward frictionless, automated and personalized travel on-demand. This trend is growing tremendously among the industry players and is here to stay. With its demand increasing, the next phase that
we will look upon would be an innovation of specialization which will bring in full autonomous vehicles and models, changing the face of the industry. The concept of sustainable mobility brings in an intelligent, integrated, and dynamic system that represents a meaningful change from today’s vantage point of linear trips and single-occupancy vehicles. Sustainable Mobility draws on the lines of innovative work ability in vitality and energy efficient vehicles and lowcarbon powers, and also the lab’s broad transportation data analysis and modelling tools. Making
mobility more sustainable translates into transport systems that are more accessible, efficient, safer, and climate responsive.
