This is the latest step in the ‘Refresh India’ strategy we announced last year to strengthen and grow the ZF brand in India. By leveraging synergies as part of ZF, we are uniquely positioned to offer the next generation of solutions and services for commercial vehicles and fleets in India and world-wide.”

While the ZF Wabco brand in India will also transition to become ‘ZF’ over the coming months, serving the unique needs of the Indian commercial vehicle industry, we will retain ‘Wabco’ as a trusted and well-known original equipment and aftermarket product brand,” added Kaniappan.
