Hitendra Bhargava, CEO & Member – Regional Management Board, Asia Pacific, Klüber Lubrication India, shares his company’s theme for Auto Expo and its focus on EVs, innovation and sustainability
Overall theme for AUTO EXPO 2023
Our theme at the Auto Expo Components 2023 is “the future of mobility” – which conveys our focus on innovation pertaining to new lubrication requirements that come hand in hand with new mobility technologies. This comprises a few topics within it such as:
- Being a complete lubrication solution provider for all applications and for conventional vehicles as well as those leveraging new mobility
- Our latest generation noise kit and assembly kit which are even more relevant given the high level of quiet operation required in electric vehicles.
- EV specific custom-made products – this includes 4-wheeler as well as 2-wheeler applications.
- Our focus as a group towards Sustainability. We strive towards reducing our footprint at our manufacturing locations and maximize our handprint by helping our customers reduce wastage with the help of our solutions.
Key focus areas
We are highly focussed on electric vehicles. At a global level our R&D is working closely with customers to find tailormade solutions needed for EV’s. In India we see an exponential increase in the number of electric 2 wheelers, and therefore we have developed customized solutions for these vehicles in our local market. We also understand that increasing the driving range of an electric vehicle is highly important, and we can contribute to it using products which are more energy efficient.
Expectations from the show
We are excited to be here after 3 years. This is the flagship event for the Indian automotive industry and one is always assured of a big turnout. We expect it to be further amplified given the long gap since the last one in 2020. We are looking forward to engage with our existing customers to showcase our new solutions. We are also keen to meet new customers and discuss avenues for collaboration. Furthermore, we are curious to see what are the new technologies that would be showcased at the event and will give some insights into what the future of the auto industry could look like.
