have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside

per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product

ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per

As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings

increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added

been set up at an initial invest-
ment of Rs 18 crores and
covering an area of 1800 sq
metres will assemble driver
and passenger airbag mod-
ules The plant will have an
installed capacity to produce
around 500000 airbags ini-
tially which will be doubled
in the next two yearsrsquo time
Rane TRW is currently
working to localize the airbag
components to improve its
competitiveness in a highly
cost-conscious market like
India ldquoWe basically plan to
have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside
of India We have around 30
per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product
Line Global Steering Wheel
Systems ZF TRW while ad-
dressing the media
ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per
cent share in the airbag market
in Asia PaciicApart from occupant safety
systems Rane TRW is also
a major player in steering
systems which contribute
to around 70 per cent of the
companyrsquos turnover at present
As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings
business In addition an
increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added

been set up at an initial invest-
ment of Rs 18 crores and
covering an area of 1800 sq
metres will assemble driver
and passenger airbag mod-
ules The plant will have an
installed capacity to produce
around 500000 airbags ini-
tially which will be doubled
in the next two yearsrsquo time
Rane TRW is currently
working to localize the airbag
components to improve its
competitiveness in a highly
cost-conscious market like
India ldquoWe basically plan to
have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside
of India We have around 30
per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product
Line Global Steering Wheel
Systems ZF TRW while ad-
dressing the media
ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per
cent share in the airbag market
in Asia PaciicApart from occupant safety
systems Rane TRW is also
a major player in steering
systems which contribute
to around 70 per cent of the
companyrsquos turnover at present
As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings
business In addition an
increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added

to seatbelts operational since
1997 with both plants having
a total workforce of around
450 employees
In India Rane TRWrsquos Oc-
cupant Safety Division manu-
factures seatbelts and airbags

shman Managing Director
Rane TRW said ldquoWith the
Government of India promot-
ing Occupant SafetyRoad
Safety to signiicantly reduce fatalities we expect the Indian
auto Industry to introduce
passive safety technologies to
meet these regulations The

been set up at an initial invest-
ment of Rs 18 crores and
covering an area of 1800 sq
metres will assemble driver
and passenger airbag mod-
ules The plant will have an
installed capacity to produce
around 500000 airbags ini-
tially which will be doubled
in the next two yearsrsquo time
Rane TRW is currently
working to localize the airbag
components to improve its
competitiveness in a highly
cost-conscious market like
India ldquoWe basically plan to
have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside
of India We have around 30
per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product
Line Global Steering Wheel
Systems ZF TRW while ad-
dressing the media
ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per
cent share in the airbag market
in Asia PaciicApart from occupant safety
systems Rane TRW is also
a major player in steering
systems which contribute
to around 70 per cent of the
companyrsquos turnover at present
As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings
business In addition an
increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added

ment of Rs 18 crores and
covering an area of 1800 sq
metres will assemble driver
and passenger airbag mod-
ules The plant will have an
installed capacity to produce
around 500000 airbags ini-
tially which will be doubled
in the next two yearsrsquo time
Rane TRW is currently
working to localize the airbag
components to improve its
competitiveness in a highly
cost-conscious market like
India ldquoWe basically plan to
have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside
of India We have around 30
per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product
Line Global Steering Wheel
Systems ZF TRW while ad-
dressing the media
ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per
cent share in the airbag market
in Asia PaciicApart from occupant safety
systems Rane TRW is also
a major player in steering
systems which contribute
to around 70 per cent of the
companyrsquos turnover at present
As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings
business In addition an
increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added

been set up at an initial invest-
ment of Rs 18 crores and
covering an area of 1800 sq
metres will assemble driver
and passenger airbag mod-
ules The plant will have an
installed capacity to produce
around 500000 airbags ini-
tially which will be doubled
in the next two yearsrsquo time
Rane TRW is currently
working to localize the airbag
components to improve its
competitiveness in a highly
cost-conscious market like
India ldquoWe basically plan to
have a lot of local content in
our airbags in India moving
forward Only the inlator being the most critical part
of the airbag will still be
sourced from ZF-TRW outside
of India We have around 30
per cent share in the Indian
airbag market and are eyeing
a minimum one-third share in
futurerdquo said Mr Alexander
Heilig Director ndash Product
Line Global Steering Wheel
Systems ZF TRW while ad-
dressing the media
ZF-TRW manufactures
inlators at its facilities in Germany North America and
China and holds nearly 17 per
cent share in the airbag market
in Asia PaciicApart from occupant safety
systems Rane TRW is also
a major player in steering
systems which contribute
to around 70 per cent of the
companyrsquos turnover at present
As a preferred supplier of
hydraulic power steering sys-
tems to many leading vehicle
manufacturers the company
expects the technology to
be adopted by an increasing
number of vehicle segments in
the country in future
ldquoWe expect the recovery
in the MampHCV segment to
continue and that it will aid
the growth of our steerings
business In addition an
increasing number of LCVs
and SCVs will slowly start
migrating to power steerings
similar to what happened in
trucks and cars and we expect
this trend to boost sales for
our steering systemsrdquo added
