This showcase of global technologies and investment in a new plant reiterates the Group’s commitment to the growth of domestic industry in the region and its focus on the region, Passey said.

The display in the trade fair include ZF’s newly developed eTRAC electric drive system, eCD (electric Central Drive) system for backhoe loaders, eTRAC eCD110-210 series for mid-sized wheel loaders, brake-by-wire system and eTRAC series for electric forklifts.

The Indian Off-Highway segment is estimated to grow significantly. In India, the construction industry is upbeat about the market potential with rapid urbanization and the push for infrastructural connectivity, which the country is witnessing.

The industrialization of the ERGOPOWER M transmission series at ZF Coimbatore plant will contribute to that development, he added.
