By Jim Gibbins - 1st March 2019
Germany / Pune – ZF Friedrichshafen AG of Friedrichshafen, Germany has opened a new ZF branded shock absorber production line at the headquarters of ZF India Pvt Ltd in Chakan, Pune, India as part of plans to expand its portfolio of locally-made products for the Indian commercial vehicle sector.
The production line has been completely localized, ZF India stated. It is to manufacture a comprehensive range of cabin and axle shock absorbers for trucks and buses. The new production line initially has an annual installed manufacturing capacity of some 700,000 units. Over the next three to four years ZF says it plans to increase this annual capacity to some three million units. The production line has been established in the existing multi-product facility, which ZF states, will offer operational synergies and help it optimise resources. ZF pointed out the new line incorporates the latest manufacturing processes used in its different plant locations around the world.
