During the recently held Automechanika Kuala Lumpur, Asian Trucker met up with ZF Aftermarket’s team to get an update.

A Regional Powerhouse in Motion
ZF Aftermarket, a division of the ZF Group, serves as a cornerstone of ZF’s presence across the ASEAN and Taiwan regions. As a trusted Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer and aftermarket supplier, it provides advanced transmissions, axles, and driveline systems for both passenger and commercial vehicles, alongside comprehensive support for off-road and industrial applications.
At the heart of its operations is an extensive network of “ZF [pro]Service Workshops,” specialising in the expert maintenance and diagnostics of gearboxes, axles, and driveline components, further cementing ZF Aftermarket’s reputation for reliability and superior performance.

Upholding Trust Through Authorised Partners
Amid a market increasingly plagued by counterfeit components and grey-market imports, ZF Aftermarket remains resolute in its commitment to product integrity. The division exclusively collaborates with trusted partners such as YonMing Group—appointed service partner by WABCO/ZF Aftermarket—Diamond Technique Sdn Bhd, and Allegiance Malaysia, ensuring that customers receive authentic, warrantied components, all backed by expert service.

Expanding with Purpose
As the regional vehicle market diversifies, ZF Aftermarket continues to expand its portfolio beyond its traditional European OE roots to encompass a broader range of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese brands. Key product offerings include transmission systems, clutches, lubricants, air compressors, filters, and shock absorbers—all prominently displayed at recent automotive exhibitions to underline the division’s commitment to innovation and authenticity.

Service Excellence, From Workshop to Field
ZF Aftermarket’s technical capabilities span from Level 1 to Level 3 repair services, all delivered by a team of skilled engineers and technicians equipped with specialised diagnostic tools. Their expertise extends across commercial, marine, and specialty vehicles, covering everything from transmissions to electronic driveline systems. A well-managed logistics operation ensures that essential parts are readily available, when and where they are needed.

Independent Aftermarket (IAM) Reach
ZF Aftermarket’s IAM portfolio reaches approximately 95 percent of Malaysia’s vehicle market, serving a broad spectrum of vehicles—from domestic models such as Proton and Perodua to popular Japanese and Korean brands. The division’s OE-quality product lines—ZF and SACHS—continue to expand, with particular growth in shock absorbers and clutch systems.

Driven by the ZF Way
At the heart of ZF Aftermarket’s ethos is The ZF Way, a Group-wide initiative founded on principles of passion, anticipation, diversity, empowerment, and accountability. These guiding values unite teams across the globe, driving ZF’s ongoing mission to shape the future of mobility.
