Technology company Continental India on Tuesday announced that it has crossed the five million production mark for Electronic Brake Systems (EBS) from its Gurgaon plant within five years of commencement.
The localisation of EBS units began in Gurgaon in 2016, while the manufacturing of electronic control units (ECU) for EBS was set up in January 2018 at the Bengaluru plant. Apart from catering to leading OEMs in the local market, the EBS units are also exported to other Asian regions, a release from the company stated.
The company’s EBS portfolio comprises Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for passenger cars and Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) for passenger cars and 2-Wheelers.
Krishan Kohli, Head – Segments, Vehicle Dynamics and Hydraulic Brake System, Continental Automotive India, said, “Localisation has been another important aspect of Continental India strategy as we achieved the five million mark since we have been consistently increasing our manufacturing and R&D footprint in India aligned with our customer preferences and needs.”
The company said that EBS systems have directly contributed to about five million vehicles being safer today, and it targets to raise the annual EBS production capacity by 25% in the next three years, Kohli added.
