ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM), focusing on the 'Mobility and Intelligent Transportation' (MInT), which has an ambitious goal of building the Bharat Multi-Modal Mobility Stack (BM3S). The BM3S is a game-changing digital mobility infrastructure empowering development of holistic system solutions for sustainable and intelligent transportation globally. The MInT collaborative and this partnership with ZF, a global leader in mobility products and solutions, will help accelerate mobility research to practice.

With a focus on safety, sustainability, and equity, BM3S will pave the way for significant advancements in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and intelligent transportation systems. It aims to seamlessly integrate data streams, payment systems, vehicle technologies, and digital twin models. Working together this collaboration aims to co-create a digital platform that will drive the development of holistic system solutions aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including: Sustainable Transport (11.2): Achieve a 50% reduction in total transport emissions. Accident Prevention (3.6): Reduce fatalities by 50%.

Energy Efficiency (7.3): Ensure 50% of all transport comes from net zero modes. A Ganesamoorthy, Head of Engineering, CVS R&D, Region, is the lead for this collaborative from ZF and will facilitate co-creating system solutions that enable Mobility and Intelligent Transport with digital infrastructure as the innovation engine.
