On your next trip, ditch the plan of boarding a flight. You must consider the Vande Bharat Express, to experience a modern commute that comes close to the in-flight experience. The experience is elevated by the next generation of seating systems these trains flank.

These commercial automotive seating systems are manufactured by Pinnacle Industries Ltd. Well known for seating systems, the company also dabbles in automotive interiors, EV components, and speciality vehicles which gives it an edge over competition. Claimed to understand the crucial ergonomics like no other, Arihant Mehta, President, of Pinnacle Industries looked back in time to gauge the evolution. "Over the years, India's automotive industry has witnessed significant transformations in terms of the design, comfort, safety, and functionality of seating systems in commercial vehicles. From basic bench seats to ergonomic and technologically advanced configurations, our journey in commercial automotive seating systems showcases a remarkable evolution," he opined.

Manufacturing Railway seating systems

Under the broad spectrum of commercial automotive seating systems, the foray into railway seating holds a special place for Pinnacle Industries. "We are deeply grateful to the Indian Railways and Integral Coach Factory for entrusting Pinnacle Industries, a proud Indian company with the railway seating business, an industry by far typically dominated by established institutional or international players," Mehta averred. The opportunity is believed to have driven Pinnacle to work harder and continue delivering exceptional seating solutions that surpass expectations and contribute to the growth and success of the Indian Railways.
