The AxTrax low-floor and CeTrax 2 electric drives; OnGuard Max; Collision Mitigation System; E-comp scroll air compressor; BusConnect. These are just some of the many products and services which the German company ZF has developed over the years, and all of these were on show at the UITP global summit in Hamburg, held between 15-18 June. Making these products and implementing them in buses has required a broad range of people with different competencies and specialisms; however, it takes one unit to promote them together with the regional sales and tailor them to people transportation. Truck & Bus Builder spoke with Daniel Majewski, Global head of Bus Solutions at ZF, about what makes the bus segment unique, how ZF supports manufacturers in keeping up to speed with the latest regulations and technologies, and how the implementation of new products and services is making Europe’s public transport safer and operational efficient.

I attended the inaugural show at the National Agricultural and Exhibition Centre in Stoneleigh, UK and missed the following two. Returning for the 2025 edition, the difference from the first show is night and day, with many more exhibitors and hundreds of trucks, vans, and trailers on display. For those reporting on the truck body and trailer industry in Britain, the expo has become indispensable: the companies featured in the report below represent just more than half of the truck body and trailer manufacturers who exhibited at the show.
