What Happened
ZF announced that Tırsan, a leading trailer manufacturer in Türkiye, is expanding its 30-year partnership by adopting ZF's SUMS Service Suite to comply with UNECE R156. The suite includes the SCALAR Software Manager, a cloud-based platform for managing software updates across the vehicle lifecycle.
“A strong customer relationship, relevant ISO certifications and a proven track record of successfully certified customers made us the preferred partner for Tırsan to address the complexity of SUMS regulation.”
