ZF POD 4600
Unrivaled performance and comfort
The system provides speed and unmatched manoeuvrability to vessels measuring up to 130 feet. Designed for vessels with planing and semi-displacement hulls and compatible with all main OEM engines up to 1.700hp at a maximum of 2.450 rpm, these new technology is suitable for a wide range of recreational and professional vessels. The pods possess an optimized hydrodynamic shape which significantly reduces the drag and supports the counter-rotating propellers improving the overall horizontal thrust
TotalCommand
Unparalleled vessel control
TotalCommand is ZF’s advanced marine control system, offering improved clutch responsiveness, optimized control of proportional valves, and adaptive gear engagement. Designed by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, it integrates CAN-bus technology for up to six control stations. It enables complex maneuvers like 360° rotation and parallel docking, with JMS® regulating engine speed and transmission engagement for smooth operation.
Hybrid Transmissions
ZF hybrid transmissions for an emission-free future at sea
Ever more strict environmental regulations and laws on the world's oceans demand clean, sustainable propulsion technology for shipping. The hybrid transmissions developed by ZF represent an important component for the realization of environmentally-friendly propulsion systems. For ship operators, this means lower fuel consumption and lower emissions. ZF offers the right propulsion solution for a wide range of vessel types.
Hybrid Module
Plug and Play for more sustainability
Thanks to its new marine hybrid module, ZF simplifies electrification of new and existing ship designs. The key feature of the overall solution is a newly developed supporting frame – which, unlike the usual setup, dispenses with the need for a separate base for the e-motor and for an offset-adjustment coupling. This plug-and-play approach, which is unrivaled in the market, reduces installation space and considerably simplifies the installation of the module and the maintenance of the e-motor.
ZF 400 Series
Modular design and hybrid compatibility power rang
The ZF 400 transmission series gives manufacturers and fleet operators high flexibility for new design and retrofits thanks to the availability of multiple gear ratios and down angle, parallel, IV and W configuration variants. This advanced transmission family includes an optional embedded electronic unit to better control the proportional valves for smother shifting/trolling and to provide smart alert functionalities for scheduled maintenance.
