With the announced investment, ZF will hire 400 new workers and prepare the site for a wider range of manufacturing outputs, serving both internal combustion engines and electric powertrains. The first new product announced for the site is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle transmission intended for the ‘7 Series’ and ‘X5’ ranges by BMW.
