ZF Friedrichshafen has teamed up with ISE Corporation, with the intention of developing and supplying parallel electric hybrid drive systems and components for the North American market.
ZF, a manufacturer of vehicle driveline and chassis technology, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ISE, a leading designer and manufacturer of series hybrid propulsion systems and components, for an intended Strategic Collaboration and Development Partnership.
Under the terms of the Memorandum, ZF will utilise ISE’s expertise for integration engineering, sales, subsystem assembly and service support while ISE will develop and market a parallel hybrid drive system for the North America commercial vehicle market that uses ZF hybrid systems and components.
To date, ZF has developed a number of parallel hybrid configurations for various applications in the transit bus and truck industries. It is considered one of the leading automotive industry suppliers in both driveline and chassis technologies, while ISE has firmly established itself in the area of heavy duty electric series hybrid drive systems.
