ZF has successfully completed the acquisition of the commercial vehicle technology supplier Wabco, having gained approval from all the regulatory authorities. Wabco shares ceased public trading with immediate effect. Following the end of the acquisition process, the integration of the company into the ZF Group will begin. The aim of the two organizations is to advance the development of commercial vehicle technologies and to expand the range of services for commercial vehicles and the operational customer business. In the future, Wabco will operate as the independent commercial vehicle control systems division of ZF, which makes it the group’s tenth division. It employs around 12,000 people at 45 locations worldwide. “This acquisition represents an important milestone in the history of our company,” said Wolf-Henning Scheider, CEO of ZF. The division will be headed by Fredrik Staedtler. He has long experience of the commercial vehicle industry, most recently as Head of ZF’s commercial vehicle technology division. Jacques Esculier, CEO of Wabco, will leave the company.

Edag has bundled its electrical and
By September 2022 developers from 15 companies and universities working on the “Line integration of additive manufacturing processes” research project aim to have created new additive production methods for use in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, among other areas. The organizations working on the project include Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, Edag and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The partners are investigating new possibilities in areas such as product design and improvements to material properties. The project is focusing on
the laser powder-bed fusion of metals, which involves using high-precision lasers to melt and shape the metal powder that is applied in layers. A detailed process monitoring system will result in fewer faults in the components and the platform used by the printer for the parts will be standardized. “We need to move this phase up to an industrial scale,” says project leader Dr. Lukas Löber from Bosch. The project has funding of 1
