You clearly want to grow faster in India. Which are the areas where you foresee this growth to come from? Today, we are present in one of every four cars produced in India but we see there is further upside potential to grow. India is a fast-growing, global market in terms of vehicle production and we want to contribute to this growth. Lastly, increasing value in the start-stop system is more complex than the conventional starter; so we also want to contribute to this growth.

What is the contribution of the Indian business to SEG Automotive globally? At present, India contributes 10 percent of our global turnover which was $1.7 billion in 2017; we expect this share can increase rapidly. We are pushing for growth and targets to grow faster than the market. India is growing faster than Europe and North America. Our India team is very ambitious to increase the share of India within the global network.

What are the localisation levels in India for your products? Our products in India — not only assembly but also sub-components — are highly localised. We have deep production depth and our customers in India also want local products. This is helping in reducing logistics cost and import but we also balance overall global capacities. Definitely, India is clearly one of our export locations.

Technologically, how you see starter motors for passenger cars and commercial vehicles evolving? In both the segments, the requirements are different; for the CV market, we have quite specific and tough environmental requirements. Therefore, the innovation and R&D focus is to meet the requirements in terms of

robustness and quality. More focus is on reducing CO2 emissions for passenger cars for start-stop systems. We expect the start-stop system also to come to commercial vehicles, especially for last-mile delivery, because long- distance trucks are not suitable for this technology. n ADVERTORIAL 7 FEBRUARY 10, 2018 SHOW DAILY ACE MICROMATIC GROUP Trusted by SSIs & SMEs – Preferred by OEMs & MNCs Brakes India innovates with lighter THIS IS THE largest machine tool implants.
