ZF, a global leader in driveline and chassis technology, has announced the commencement of production for its Electric Park Brake (EPB) system in India. This marks ZF's debut in the Indian passenger vehicle market, with the system integrated into a recently launched all-electric vehicle for a prominent Indian OEM. This milestone is significant for ZF’s e-mobility and innovation strategy within India’s passenger car sector.
This start of production represents ZF’s first EPB deployment in India, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing advanced mobility solutions tailored to the regional market. The EPB system supports India’s growing shift towards electrification, safety, and next-generation vehicle technologies, aligning with ZF’s strategy of "Make in India for India and the World.”
The EPB system is engineered to deliver class-leading performance, with low drag and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), contributing to fuel economy improvements. It also signifies a major step in the electrification of mechanical systems and, when integrated with other vehicle systems, allows for advanced functionalities. Additionally, the EPB enhances driver safety with two-wheel anti-lock emergency stops and convenient activation at the touch of a button. It is fully integrated into the brake system, featuring dynamic actuation and brake pad wear sensing, minimising degradation compared to traditional mechanical systems.
Its modular architecture allows scalability across various vehicle segments, from passenger cars to light commercial vehicles and light trucks, providing Indian OEMs with both performance and flexibility in vehicle design.
Akash Passey, President of ZF Group in India, commented, "The SOP of ZF’s first Electric Park Brake in India, on an all-new EV platform, highlights ZF’s commitment to offering leading mobility solutions for local requirements. With advanced systems like the EPB, we are not only improving vehicle safety and performance but also supporting Indian automakers in delivering world-class and safe products in India."

ZF continues to lead innovation, with over 250 million EPB calipers installed on vehicles worldwide, and offers a comprehensive portfolio of purely electronically controlled steering, braking, and damping systems for software-defined vehicles.
The EPB system marks another milestone for ZF in India, further deepening the company’s presence and bringing globally benchmarked technologies to the country’s evolving mobility landscape.
