At the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, ZF unveiled its next-generation digital fleet management platform, SCALAR, in India. Designed to meet diverse customer needs, SCALAR offers advanced features that optimize commercial fleet operations, improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability for both passenger and cargo transport.
Announcing the launch at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, Mr. P Kaniappan, MD ZF Commercial Vehicles Control Systems India Ltd., said: “At ZF, we are committed to pioneering digital solutions that drive the future of mobility. By introducing SCALAR in India, we are delivering the industry’s first comprehensive fleet orchestration solution tailored to the unique and diverse requirements of the Indian market.
Mr. Van Raemdonck Hjalmar, Head of Digital Solutions Business, CVS Division, ZF Group added, “ The platform provides advanced capabilities that enhance fleet productivity while reducing operational costs, whether it’s for cargo or passenger applications. With its state-of-the-art features that will evolve with emerging trends, SCALAR will help make transportation in India smarter, safer and more sustainable for all,”
Transformative Features for Smarter Fleets
A key advantage offered by SCALAR is that it uses AI and self-learning algorithms to analyse historical data, optimise fleet planning, routing, and dispatching. The platform also offers real-time data and predictive analytics to enable fleet managers to ensure that their vehicles are directed to the right place at the right time. This includes helping select the most fuel-efficient and less environmentally impactful route, supporting fleet sustainability and reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The platform can also enhance reliability levels by providing actionable insights into vehicle performance, predictive maintenance, and driver behaviour, helping to increase productivity, avoid unplanned downtime and improve overall fleet management. The platform supports fleets composed of vehicles with a combustion engine and electric vehicles, or a mix of both, transporting people or goods.
