By Niranjan Mudholkar,

Added 05 October 2017

First ever “Made in India, Made for India” Electric Park Brake technology

ZF offers a range of EPB solutions including standard EPB, integrated EPB, which eliminates the need for a separate Electronic Control Unit (ECU) since it is integrated with the electronic stability control system, and EPB for front axles which is more suitable for smaller vehicle segments.

Sriram Viji, Deputy Managing Director, Brakes India said, "Brakes India - with its strong joint venture partnership with ZF has been offering a range of technologies including ABS to the growing Indian market for several years. EPB localisation is in line with the ‘Made in India, Made for India' strategy. This launch marks yet another milestone in our commitment to help enhance safety, performance and comfort for vehicles in this region. India will continue to be dominated by small cars with rear drum brakes. The offering of a front EPB opens up a wealth of opportunity regarding EPB installation due to its architecture and performance benefits."

With a strong fifty-year long partnership, Brakes India and ZF are set to enhance their presence in the Indian market by introducing the latest braking technology and helping to take the safety of vehicles to the next level in one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
