The dual mass flywheel dampens torsional vibrations and thus allows the engine to run efficiently at significantly lower speeds than is possible with a conventional flywheel. This reduces fuel consumption. When replacing the DMF, garages should explain to customers that for optimal performance their vehicle's drivetrain relies on this damping function.

At Interschutz 2022, ZF will be showcasing for the first time a new modular drive system for special vehicles that guarantees manufacturers maximum flexibility and reliability for extreme use cases. Comprising an automatic transmission, transfer case and electric motor, the modular concept is perfectly equipped for heavy use on rough terrain, airports, construction sites and more.

In order to support the driver in the best possible way, sensors are needed to deliver the required data and therefore adapt the engine's power support. An essential component is the ZF e-bike sensor for measuring the current speed, which is based on Hall technology with significant advantages over conventional reed switches.
