Details
Our latest project at ZF Bielefeld is the remanufacturing of a release system (DoppelConAct). We have established an optimal cycle here at the site. With our customer, Volvo, we manufacture the products in Bielefeld and influence the design optimizations. After the used release bearings are returned, we remanufacture them here, thus giving the old parts a new lease of life in the vehicles. Our customer, Volvo, benefits from a price advantage, and the desired sustainability is realized. It's an optimal cycle.

Particularly striking is the close cross-company collaboration, resulting in a charismatic, sustainable value creation model. In this way, »DoppelConAct« sets a pioneering benchmark for responsible, top-tier product design within its field.
