ZF and Hella have reached a strategic partnership to pave the way for autonomous driving

On June 20, 2017, ZF announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with HELLA. Both parties will strengthen the safety of vehicle sensors in camera systems, imaging and radar sensor technologies for passenger cars, commercial vehicles and off-highway applications. Provide modern assistance systems and pave the way for the development of automated driving.

The first project will be available in 2020

ZF is headquartered in Germany, is a global automotive industry partners and spare parts suppliers, specializing in the transmission, steering, chassis systems and other automotive parts. Hella is committed to the development and production of vehicle components and lighting technology systems and electronic equipment.

It is understood that for future cooperation, ZF will further strengthen its investment portfolio as a system supplier to provide modern auxiliary systems and autonomous driving functions, and Hella will gain access from a wider market to its leading technologies. Driving technology development and benefits. The first joint development project on camera system technology between the two parties will start immediately and is expected to be launched in the market in 2020.

"This strategic partnership for sensor technology and Hella has enhanced our position as a complete system supplier for modern auxiliary systems with automatic driving capabilities," said ZF CEO Stefan Sommer. "This Non-exclusive cooperation with Hella is an important expansion of our vision-zero ecological development partnership. Therefore, we can create a broader technical base for safe and autonomous driving."

Hella's global CEO Dr. Rolf Breidenbach added that “Hella is a strong and experienced provider of sensor technology. Our knowledge is exactly the same as that of ZF. By combining our strengths. Our clear goal is to provide market-leading and high-performance assistance systems and autonomous driving capabilities. In addition, this cooperation will strengthen Hella's position as a highly respected supplier and imaging radar sensor technology."

For both parties' first cooperation projects, ZF and Hella will provide automakers to jointly develop products and begin immediate and expected SOP 2020. ZF brings hardware and professional features, systems and integrated tables, while Hella and its subsidiary Hella Milano are actively trying out and testing the development and application of imaging software for visual contribution capabilities.

"In the future, the European NCAP safety rating will require assisted cameras to support the auxiliary functions. Therefore, the demand for front-facing cameras will increase in all vehicle segments." Both sides are very optimistic about the prospects of this market.

Paving "zero vision"

"In 2013, ZF formulated a 2025 strategy and estimated the direction of the market. We call it 'zero vision' - zero accidents and zero emissions," Stefan Sommer said. The automatic development of automobiles is not expected to be fast, and it is in order to better seize market opportunities by joining forces with Hella."

Stefan Sommer further explained that “the automotive industry and the mobile industry are all facing subversive changes. To achieve zero vision and technology direction, we must develop towards zero emissions, mobile travel, automated driving, digitalization, and pure electric power. ”

Dr. Rolf Breidenbach, the global CEO of Hella Group, said that both parties will cooperate on radar and camera – and this is the most important technology in the future to achieve automatic driving.

In addition to the camera project mentioned above, in the mid- to long-term development, both parties will also provide camera systems for autonomous driving functions, as well as commercial vehicles and off-highway applications. ZF has expanded its portfolio of cameras, thus providing customers with more choices while continuing to work with established partners. Hella Milan acquired a new customer and partner for an independent and open driver assistance system software solution.

In the cooperation work of the radar system department, the two parties will also find opportunities to provide attractive mass production solutions in the short to medium term and jointly establish a product portfolio. The Hella 360° onlooker radar system and ZF’s mid-range and long-range radar systems will create a new, comprehensive system solution.
