ZF celebrates 40 years with launches at Agrishow 2025

ZF is participating in Agrishow 2025 with a series of new products for the agricultural sector, with the highlight being the launch of the TSA Narrow steerable front axle. Developed in Brazil, at the company's Global Competence Center in Sorocaba (SP), the component was designed for tractors up to 105 HP and especially meets the demands of fruit and coffee growing.

The TSA Narrow has a reduced track, which allows operation between crop rows without causing damage to the plants, ensuring better use of the planted area and contributing directly to increased productivity. The new axle follows the quality standard of the TSA family, with a three-part housing, high modularity, 55° steering angle, 45% limited slip differential and optimized design that contributes to reduced fuel consumption.

The company is also celebrating two important milestones in its history in Brazil: 40 years of domestic axle production and the manufacture of 700 units at the Sorocaba plant (SP). According to Silvio Furtado, vice president of ZF South America, these figures reflect the company's continued investment in local engineering, with field presence and customized solutions for Brazilian rural producers.

At the 300 m² stand, ZF will also be presenting a complete line of solutions for agribusiness, including the TSA23 axle, with a reversible gauge kit to meet the needs of sugarcane crops, and the TPT 20 transmission, developed for tractors up to 205 HP, with emphasis on the Intelligent Range Shift function and operation at up to 50 km/h with low engine speed.

Among the innovations, the company is also exhibiting for the first time in Brazil the eTrac, an electric auxiliary drive that improves the traction of implements, in addition to new hydraulic and pneumatic solutions for agricultural and construction machinery. Systems such as electro-hydraulic brakes, compressors and electronic suspension control reinforce ZF's commitment to the safety, durability and efficiency of field operations.

ZF is also expanding its connectivity and digitalization operations with technologies such as Scalar EVOPulse, which is designed for trailer telemetry, and SmartBoard, an electronic dashboard that allows drivers to monitor data such as axle load and maintenance alerts. In the commercial vehicle segment, the company is introducing the TraXon automated transmission and complete air management solutions.

With a portfolio that ranges from field production to transport logistics, ZF reaffirms its role as a global supplier of technological solutions for agribusiness and highlights the leading role of Brazilian engineering in creating increasingly efficient and sustainable products.
