Reduce your environmental impact and boost your fleet's efficiency
As the global demand for efficient and eco-friendly transportation solutions increases, the rail industry faces the challenge of reducing its environmental impact while maintaining high standards of service and safety. Sustainable practices in rail maintenance not only contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint but also enhance the longevity and reliability of rail assets. By adopting sustainable maintenance strategies, rail operators can achieve cost savings through improved energy efficiency and optimised part lifecycles, while also meeting regulatory requirements. ZF Aftermarket provides a range of sustainable products and services to support you on this journey.
Because we care
Rail represents already today the cleanest and greenest high-volume mode of transport. Nevertheless the requirements are rising continuously and rail operators face the challenge to constantly work on the reduction of their carbon footprint.
On the other hand electrification of infrastructure significantly varies by region, making it necessary to optimize remaining combustion engine powered fleets, ensuring the least carbon impact. ZF Aftermarket has a proven track record of delivering repowering projects to enhance fleet efficiency.
Lower emissions – lower costs
Last but not least a sustainable rail fleet can also be more cost efficient. Safely optimizing maintenance intervals and reusing instead of replacing major components can generate both significant sustainability and cost benefits.
ZF Aftermarket provides a wide range of overhaul and engineering services to fulfil these requirements.
The fields of action in sustainability
Take one step further to decarbonization with ZF Aftermarket
The fields of action are vast and making your fleet more sustainable is both – necessary from an environmental as well as a political perspective. On the other hand it can be a difficult endeavor, looking at dated infrastructure and long change processes within the rail industry.
ZF Aftermarket supports you with a variety of solutions in the fields of repowering and overhaul as well as digitalization in order to significantly lower your carbon footprint.
With our services we support all four fields of action in sustainability – making your fleet greener and more efficient.
ZF Repowering solutions
What is Repowering?
By repowering we mean replacing the outdated transmissions of existing units with more modern, cost-effective driveline components. By doing this we reduce carbon emissions - saving fuel which contributes to a cleaner environment.
Cleaner and more economical
With fuel costs accounting for two-thirds of the total Lifecycle Cost of a vehicle, not only does saving fuel help reduce your carbon footprint, but it also saves you money in real terms.
Your advantages:
- ZF repowering solutions achieve up to 20% of fuel savings
- The driveline can stay in place – only the transmission needs to be changed
- Achieve reduced lifecycle cost and longer runtimes for your vehicle
"20 percent fuel consumption improvements and minimum downtime"

REUSE, NOT REPLACE
Stop the waste
Today, as standard, almost 80% of non-working parts are still automatically replaced rather than overhauled. This not only leads to higher consumption of resources but also to higher fleet maintenance costs.
We want to change that. With ZF Aftermarket's overhaul service, up to 90% of parts & materials can be re-used to support a more sustainable lifecycle.
But we don't stop there. We take gearbox overhaul one step further by also reworking the damper.
Life extension
Quality service – Longer runtimes
With our premium ZF service, we can achieve runtimes of more than 1.5 million kilometers following a transmission overhaul. This not only extends the vehicle life but prolongs maintenance cycles helping to streamline fleet management.
