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

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

Colombia Vietnam and Thai-

land among other countries

Commenting on the plant

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

commissioning of this new

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

Rane TRWrsquos new state-of-the-art

airbag plant in Chennai inaugurated

Rane TRW Steering

Systems Pvt Ltd a 5050

airbag manufacturing plant

located adjacent to its seatbelt

plant at Singaperumal Koil

near Chennai The plant was

formally inaugurated on

August 24 by Mr Nigel Har-

ris Managing Director and

President Ford India

The new facility coming un-

der the Rane-TRWrsquos Occupant

Safety Division is located in

the same campus as the com-

panyrsquos existing one dedicated

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

catering to key customers

including Ford India Renault

Nissan Mahindra amp Mahi-

ndra Maruti Suzuki India

Tata Motors Ashok Leyland

and Daimler India Commer-

cial Vehicles The company

exports nearly 15 per cent of

its seatbelt volumes to Brazil

Colombia Vietnam and Thai-

land among other countries

Commenting on the plant

inauguration Mr Harish Lak-

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

commissioning of this new

facility demonstrates our com-

panyrsquos commitment to support

technology evolution in the

passenger vehicles We antici-

pate exponential growth in 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

Rane TRW Steering

Systems Pvt Ltd a 5050

joint venture between the

Rane Group and ZF TRW

has opened its state-of-the-art

airbag manufacturing plant

located adjacent to its seatbelt

plant at Singaperumal Koil

near Chennai The plant was

formally inaugurated on

August 24 by Mr Nigel Har-

ris Managing Director and

President Ford India

The new facility coming un-

der the Rane-TRWrsquos Occupant

Safety Division is located in

the same campus as the com-

panyrsquos existing one dedicated

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

catering to key customers

including Ford India Renault

Nissan Mahindra amp Mahi-

ndra Maruti Suzuki India

Tata Motors Ashok Leyland

and Daimler India Commer-

cial Vehicles The company

its seatbelt volumes to Brazil

Colombia Vietnam and Thai-

land among other countries

Commenting on the plant

inauguration Mr Harish Lak-

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

commissioning of this new

facility demonstrates our com-

panyrsquos commitment to support

technology evolution in the

passenger vehicles We antici-

pate exponential growth in the

application of frontal airbags

over the next decade and Rane

TRW will be well positioned

to support both global OEMs

and domestic OEMs in India

with their growth aspirations

to bring in these technologies

to their vehiclesrdquo

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
