Global technology company ZF on Tuesday announced that it has secured all required approvals for ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India (ZFCVCSI) to become the new name for WABCO India.
ZFCVCSI is part of ZF’s new Commercial Vehicle Solutions (CVS) division.
Headquartered in Chennai and employing approximately 5,000 people in India, ZFCVCSI offers a ‘one-stop-shop’ for the commercial vehicle segment. Being a market leader for advanced braking systems, conventional braking products, and related air assisted technologies and systems in India, the company is supported by five manufacturing facilities, an advanced technology development centre, a vehicle testing facility and a nationwide aftermarket distribution and service network.
WABCO India became part of the ZF Group in May 2020 following ZF’s successful acquisition. It is a key regional business within ZF’s CVS division which was launched on January 1, 2022.
P Kaniappan, Head, CVS in India, said, “We’re very pleased to unify under the ZF brand in India following the successful integration process. This is the latest step in the ‘Refresh India’ strategy we announced last year to strengthen and grow the ZF brand in India. By leveraging synergies as part of ZF, we are uniquely positioned to offer the next generation of solutions and services for commercial vehicles and fleets in India and worldwide.”
“In line with ZF’s strategic vision for ‘Next Generation Mobility’, we will further accelerate our leadership position to innovate, integrate and advance commercial vehicle controls systems. In addition to setting the pace for addressing the challenges of the commercial transportation industry, we will continue to deliver sustainable value for our customers, employees and stakeholders,” he said.
“While the ZF WABCO brand in India will also transition to become ‘ZF’ over the coming months, serving the unique needs of the Indian commercial vehicle industry, we will retain ‘WABCO’ as a trusted and well-known original equipment and aftermarket product brand,” added Kaniappan.
