6. How Big Tata AutoComp Actually Is |
The event runs from September 15 to 20 and Tata AutoComp's exhibit was inaugurated by Jaykumar Chuttar, CVCPO at Tata Motors and Brennan Gourdie, CPO at PACCAR. The company is showing its work across four technology verticals — Electricals & EV, Interior & Exterior, Thermal and Services.
What makes this interesting is that most of what's on display is aimed squarely at the commercial vehicle side of things, which covers everything from trucks and mini trucks to larger fleet vehicles.
The EV Components on Display
This is where the main attention is. Tata AutoComp said its commercial vehicle EV portfolio at the show includes battery packs, traction motors, battery cooling systems, electric compressors, power electronics, battery thermal management systems (BTMS), busbars and chargers.
These are basically the core parts that go into building electric trucks and electric buses. As more manufacturers move toward electrification, demand for this kind of component supply is only going to grow and Tata AutoComp is clearly positioning itself for that. The company is also showing its in-house design and manufacturing capabilities alongside the products.
Thermal Management and Lightweighting
On the thermal side, the display covers engine cooling solutions, CVTMS, BTMS and HVAC systems. In the Interior & Exterior segment, the company is showing composite components, steel replacements and heavy-duty plastic interior parts, all part of its lightweighting work.
Lightweighting matters a lot in commercial vehicles because every kilogram saved on vehicle weight can mean a bit more payload capacity or slightly better efficiency and over thousands of trips that adds up.
Supply Chain Division Showcase
The Supply Chain division is displaying transmission parts, ratchet tie-down products and cargo management and towing products. According to the company, this division provides manufacturing and supply chain services to global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, handling everything from RFQ management right through to component delivery.
What the Company Leadership Said
Dr Arvind Goel, Vice Chairman of Tata AutoComp Systems, said the commercial vehicle sector is being shaped by three things right now — electrification, tighter emission regulations and demand for lighter, more sustainable solutions. He added that the company is using its Artifex Engineering Centre and its relationships with global OEMs to provide engineering and mobility solutions alongside vehicle manufacturers.
Manoj Kolhatkar, Managing Director and CEO at Tata AutoComp Systems, said the company is focusing on supplying its solutions to European OEMs while adapting to how the region's automotive market is changing.
