ZF is reinforcing its commitment to the defense sector by presenting a comprehensive portfolio of advanced mobility, driveline, chassis and digital solutions at Eurosatory 2026, one of the world’s leading defense and security exhibitions. Under the theme “Together on Mission,” the company will demonstrate technologies designed to support military vehicle manufacturers and defense organizations in addressing increasingly demanding operational requirements.
With more than five decades of experience in defense and special vehicle applications, ZF has established itself as a trusted technology partner for military mobility programs worldwide. The company combines proven engineering expertise, industrial-scale manufacturing capabilities and application-specific development to deliver reliable solutions across a broad spectrum of defense platforms.
A major focus at this year’s exhibition will be ZF’s expanding portfolio of driveline technologies for wheeled and tracked military vehicles. The company will showcase solutions ranging from automatic transmissions and transfer cases to electrified propulsion systems developed for modern defense applications. These technologies are designed to deliver durability, efficiency and operational flexibility across a variety of mission environments.
Among the highlights is the newly introduced eLSG 5000 electrified powershift steering transmission. Developed as part of the European Main Ground Combat System program, the transmission represents the latest addition to ZF’s tracked vehicle portfolio and builds upon the company’s long-standing expertise in heavy military mobility systems.
Beyond driveline technologies, ZF will present advanced chassis and suspension solutions engineered for demanding off-road conditions. The portfolio includes steering systems, suspension technologies and integrated axle solutions designed to support high payload capacities while maintaining mobility across challenging terrain. Modular corner module architectures simplify vehicle integration and provide flexibility for a wide range of mission requirements.
The company will also feature braking technologies developed to perform under extreme operating conditions. These systems are designed to maintain safety and reliability during intensive duty cycles, including deep-water crossings and high-temperature environments commonly encountered in military operations.
In addition to hardware solutions, ZF continues to expand its capabilities in engineering, testing and lifecycle support. The company offers system development, software integration, validation services and testing expertise to accelerate vehicle development and certification processes. Manufacturers can also leverage ZF’s production capabilities during industrialization and series production phases.
Complementing its mobility technologies, ZF will showcase Defense Connect, a digital platform designed to support fleet coordination, logistics management and operational interoperability. The solution enhances information sharing and collaboration across defense and emergency response networks.
ZF, a global technology company serving automotive and industrial sectors, continues to invest in advanced mobility solutions aimed at enhancing safety, reducing emissions, and enabling next-generation transportation systems. The collaboration with SiliconAuto highlights a shared commitment to innovation in automotive computing and the future of autonomous mobility.
