We also hope to explore newer verticals and opportunities and establish India as premium sourcing hub globally, says Suresh KV, Country Head of ZF in India and Head of ZF India Pvt. Ltd.

Any plans to expand the existing portfolio or enter new segments?
We have recently launched our passenger car clutch systems designed to meet demanding driving conditions in India. We have signed up with some of the biggest domestic OEMs and are in talks with several others for possible partnerships in the near future. We will be closely monitoring the response to this product and take next steps.

Government's increased safety norms have worked as a catalyst for companies to pay special attention to safety systems. ZF has been ahead of its times with regards to safety of its products as the company understands that dense traffic and high speed characterizes everyday life on roads. Additionally, not only road safety but ZF is particular about environmental norms in India.

Compliance and enforcement programs by the Government of India aims to ensure that, even after a period of use, vehicle emissions of criteria pollutants are met. ZF's strategy is to grow from bringing advanced technology to India and develop products in India for India which would tackle these issues and provide sustainable products. We are exploring possibilities in the area of truck chassis components.
