Development of clutch systems to ensure optimal performance and delivery
A leading tractor OEM wanted to improve the vehicle performance and Noise,
Vibration and Harshness (NVH) characteristics to ensure the vehicles operate
effortlessly in varying loads and terrains.
Schaeffler India partnered with the customer to develop a Split Torque Clutch Solution with Advanced Damper. The split torque clutch involved multiple paths for the torque to travel, ensuring smoother operations and enhancing power delivery while minimising stress. This coupled with the advanced damper helped in a more refined operation of the vehicle.
Demonstrating its customer-centric approach, Schaeffler India helped the customer with a customised solution that helped to deliver a durable solution for mixed applications off-road as well as for regular agricultural requirements. This ultimately resulted in the product showing exceptional performance throughput during the prolonged testing sessions.
In response to evolving market dynamics, we have adopted a comprehensive multi-pathway strategy to drive transformation. This approach encompasses ICE, hybrid, hydrogen and carbon-neutral fuel solutions, enabling us to deliver customised solutions that precisely align with our customers’ diverse technological roadmaps.
We leverage Schaeffler’s global system competence while addressing unique Indian market requirements. This localised approach, combined with our engineering expertise, positions us to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions tailored to regional needs.
India continues to strengthen its position as a crucial manufacturing hub within Schaeffler’s global network. We are strategically capitalising on export opportunities and expanding our global market presence. We are also optimising our manufacturing footprint to enhance operational efficiency.
Looking ahead, we will further build upon the Group’s strategic acquisitions to enhance our technological capabilities and market reach. As we enter 2025, we continue to focus on innovation and the development of customercentric solutions.
Powertrain & Chassis
I am excited to be part of Schaeffler India’s transformative journey, marked by the first e-axle product with a leading Indian Original Equipment Manufacturer (IOEM).
The Indian automotive market faces significant volatility, majorly driven by regulatory changes, technology disruption, consumer preferences and intense competition. Given the evolving market dynamics, we foresee the automotive landscape comprising a blend of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. To cater to such complex market mix, we are focusing on promoting a well-balanced product portfolio designed to meet the needs of both BEVs and HEVs. Aligned with these diverse market requirements, we are also offering flexible business models to deliver components, sub-systems, and systems, that creates value for our customers.
Additionally our strong Regional R&D expertise positions us as the preferred technology partner, providing our customers with customised software solutions. With a strong collaborative approach with our customers and partners, we are confident in delivering innovative solutions that match the speed of transformation of the Indian automotive market.
