Germany-based ZF Friedrichshafen AG, together with Brakes India, — a joint venture between ZF-TRW and the Chennai, India-based TVS group — announced an India-specific Electric Park Brake (EPB) technology. The JV tied up with a global OEM (whose name is not disclosed) to develop this technology, a first for India.
“EPB localization is in line with the ‘Made in India, Made for India’ strategy,” said Sriram Viji, deputy managing director, Brakes India.
The EPB system functions as a conventional hydraulic brake for standard service brake applications, and as an electric brake for parking and emergency braking, reports BusinessLine.
Manfred Meyer, global vice-president, Braking Engineering for ZF said, “We have now produced more than 90 million units and are the world leaders in this technology.”
