Who we are and what we do
ZF: Our Vision: Zero Accidents, Zero Emissions
The goal is nothing less than to provide affordable, safe, clean and comfortable mobility for all. That’s why our vision is to reduce the number of traffic accidents and vehicle emissions to zero. To achieve this, we are working on all the relevant aspects and developing technologies not just for passenger cars, but also for wind turbines, commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, and autonomous shuttles. Because Next Generation Mobility is not just about transportation. It’s about innovation.
Our guiding principles in the workplace are passion, anticipation, diversity, empowerment, and accountability. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities and are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
Experience Meets Innovation
The future begins where ideas originate and grow. ZF is a company that has reinvented itself again and again over more than 100 years, from the gear factory to deep learning algorithms. At our company, a piece of the future is created every day – imagined, developed, and produced with the passion of our employees around the globe.
