The company has put in tremendous effort to help customers in the truck reefer and bus segments understand the benefits of GRP and has reaped rewards for its patient and long-term-oriented approach. Having seen fantastic response from the truck reefer space, the company is now aggressively focusing on helping the bus market upgrade by switching over to GRP solutions. We find out details from Mr. Rohan Bellikatti, Regional Technical Sales Manager, South India and Sri Lanka, Lamilux.

Excerpts:

How has the Indian bus market responded to Lamilux’ products?

Lamilux India has just started working on the bus segment for various applications. While roofing is our primary focus application, we are also looking at providing solutions for side panels, interior roofing, flooring, luggage compartments, etc.

The response to the same has been encouraging. I would say people are valuing the advantages and benefits they would derive using Lamilux GRP, the most important being the savings. The operators would have tremendous savings in terms of fuel efficiency, reduced wear and tear of tyres, etc. The break-even point is negligible and the ROI of the same is only a few months.
