In May 2015, ZF completed the acquisition of Trina Solar with US$13.5 billion and the ZF Group's strategy has been upgraded. In particular, active and passive safety system technologies, as well as the addition of autonomous driving technology, have helped ZF form a wide range of product and technology combinations and have laid a solid foundation in the field of automated driving. Since then, in the past two and a half years, ZF has been busy with the integration of TRW and has begun to carry out more M&A cooperation. At the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, ZF has basically completed the integration of TRW and released a unified corporate image at the auto show. At the same time, ZF also initiated a series of acquisitions and successively established partnerships with a number of industry-leading component manufacturers to increase overall strength and accelerate the pace of auto-driving R&D. These include the acquisition of a 40% stake in German laser radar Ibeo in 2016, the acquisition of an approximately 45% stake in UHF radar manufacturer Astyx in 2017, and the cooperation with China’s BAT giant Baidu during the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, bringing APCOA and ChargePoint together The company has entered into a cooperative alliance of its automotive payment transaction platform... A ZF-led self-driving car R&D camp is gradually taking shape. It has been more than two years since ZF completed the acquisition of US auto parts manufacturer Tianhe Automotive Holdings in May 2015. During this period, the integration of ZF and TRW has attracted external attention. Finally in September of this year, the latest progress was announced in this merger. ZF said that it has already completed the integration of TRW in advance. ZF will then appear in the public view with a unified corporate image. Through the visual expression of the integration, all departments will achieve a unified image for the market and customers. After ZF’s acquisition of TRW, the latter was incorporated into ZF as a new business unit – active and passive safety technology, but maintained its independence and brand. As for the later integration work, ZF expects it will take about three to five years to complete. Today, ZF completes this task in advance. Not only that, through the acquisition of TRW, ZF has mastered almost all of the key technologies for autonomous driving, and has taken a key step towards the future of digital traffic and autonomous driving. "True Experience in occupant safety systems and electronics as well as steering and braking technology is a perfect complement to our original product portfolio and enables it to develop further." ZF CEO Stefan • Dr. Stefan Sommer said. "At the same time, this merger has laid the foundation for us to realize the 'zero vision ecosystem' - an interconnected system created by a growing number of partners." It is reported that in the new brand image released this time, the design elements have reflected the previous image of ZF and Tianhe. This thorough "combination into one" helps to make full use of the synergies between the two companies and create a competitive company organization structure so that customers can better benefit from the technical expertise of both companies.

ZF's automatic driving camp is fully upgraded
The emergence of new product forms in the automotive industry, such as digital transportation and autopilot, has not only brought about earth-shaking changes in the design, manufacture, and use of automobiles from later stages, but has also led to changes in the pattern of the traditional automotive market. In particular, in the automotive component manufacturing sector, a comprehensive view of the global automotive market in the past two years, mergers and acquisitions around the auto-driving, smart-car related technologies, and industry cooperation are frequently performed throughout the world, of which ZF is an important participant. .
