<strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong> supplies pedal units to Ashok Leyland<br />
Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland is currently developing a new generation of<br />
driver’s cabs – the Next Generation Cabin or NGC – for heavy trucks. In the first quarter of 2013, the<br />
manufacturer will start to fit the new cabs in selected models. Over time they will gradually become<br />
the standard cabs for the company’s full range of vehicles. <strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong> won the contract to supply<br />
all of the pedal units for the NGC program. By 2016, Ashok Leyland is planning to install approximately<br />
80,000 of the new cabs.<br />
<strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong> becomes preferred supplier to Indian manufacturers<br />
<strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong> was able to further improve its position in the Indian commercial vehicle market in the<br />
year under review, as two major Indian manufacturers awarded the company preferred supplier status.<br />
In the case of Mahindra Navistar this concerns the supply of brake control valves, air supply units, actuators<br />
and ABS systems for installation in all of the manufacturer’s commercial vehicles in the 40 to 49<br />
tonne range.
