Summary
With the Intelligent Driving Dynamic Chassis (IDDC), ZF presents a ready-to-launch vehicle platform concept designed to meet essential vehicle design requirements to support future urban mobility solutions. The platform combines an axle-integrated
electric drive, an innovative, extremely agile chassis with an advanced steering system and an electronic control unit that coordinates all chassis functions. These intelligently networked mechanical systems have perfectly equipped the IDDC for autonomous city driving in the future. At the same time the completely flat floor between the front and rear axle accommodates almost any vehicle body design. This makes the IDDC an ideal and highly flexible platform for developing innovative electric vehicles for either city passenger or goods transport.
