Monterrey: Contributing to the future of mobility
ZF invested $200 million to create one of the most innovative and advanced complexes in the automotive sector in Mexico. The building that houses the corporate functions and the Research and Development center was designed under the Office 3.0 concept, based on open spaces that promote collaboration and multi-disciplinary work.
“This investment is a win-win. First, because one thing is certain, that every dollar, peso or euro invested in our state is multiplied, and second, because here they will work on global projects, confirming that Nuevo León has established itself as a new world hub for technology and electromobility," said Iván Rivas, secretary of economy of Nuevo Leon.
The ZF Electronic Systems Monterrey manufacturing plant produces smart cameras for Advanced Assisted Driving Systems (ADAS) and Integrated Brake Control systems, with capability for fully automated driving in passenger and light commercial vehicles.
The Research and Development center has 16 laboratories that can perform tests to prevent and correct product failures. Its state-of-the-art equipment simulates the real-world conditions a vehicle is exposed to in different environments, allowing engineers to gain accurate information about its behavior in various situations.
This milestone marks a tipping point for the state's industry, as it symbolizes the transition from an economy based on manufacturing to one focused on cutting-edge engineering, design and product development. This contributes to making Nuevo León the innovation hub for the mobility industry in the country, developing world-class talent and fostering collaboration between companies, universities and government.
"ZF Monterrey represents a crucial step on our path towards a more sustainable and connected mobility. With this campus, we are creating a unique ecosystem in Nuevo Leon that will drive innovation and the development of disruptive mobility technologies," said Jorge Vazquez, Director of ZF Monterrey and R&D Mexico.
