A CLEAR ROADMAP

Q. How buoyant are you on the India growth sentiments? Given that you have a global outlook, how does it translate to the ZF go-to-market strategy?

A. We are very excited to be in India to share the success story from a technical point of view. I work in the materials management team, but overall represent the company and we are very excited of course, to have gone through the strategic acquisition overall with WABCO, which is now a part and an integrated Commercial Vehicle Solutions (CVS) division for the overall commercial vehicle segment at a Group level. For the materials management team, we are supporting overall businesses and very specifically the CVS business. The truck and trailer market is an overall growing segment for us. Our strong baseline and foundation here in India helped us jump on board in the global markets. So we are very happy to have a main successful supply base here and interactions with strategic suppliers, they would be held, to strengthen our position in the market.

Q. In the post-Covid-19 era, how are you ensuring profitability? How are you linking it with the Euro two billion sourcing plan?
