ZF announced an investment of around 2,9 million € in its Brest facility, France, for the development of its next generation radar sensors, a core technology within automated driving portfolio. The project is aimed to increase equipment, tooling and components in the Brest production site, as well as for a 500 sqm expansion of the warehouse. When combined with camera, intelligent control units and actuators, the radar is a fundamental part of automated driving technology, helping to enable partially automated driving functions, such as Highway driving assist with automated lane change.

The company’s fifth generation radar system meets Euro Ncap requirements up to 2020: ZF’s radar systems are designed, assembled and tested in Brest, the company’s global centre of excellence for radar systems since the turn of the century. Here, on a surface of about 2.200 sqm, the facility has especially skilled workforce which has increased by nearly 30% over the last 18 months, and produces around 300.000 units per year. The company anticipates that this figure will exceed one million by 2020, according the continue increasing adoption of active safety and automated driving systems by the market.
