Quick Takeaways
- ZF Group Electric Park Brake production begins in India with a high-capacity localized manufacturing line.
- The new setup strengthens advanced braking system availability for passenger cars and electric vehicles.
On January 20, 2026, ZF Group inaugurated an Electric Park Brake (EPB) production line for passenger cars at its Oragadam manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu. The newly commissioned line is designed for a peak annual capacity of 800,000 units, supporting growing demand from Indian vehicle manufacturers.
The ZF Group Electric Park Brake systems produced at Oragadam are already being supplied to Indian OEMs. These systems are integrated into recently launched all-electric passenger vehicles, reflecting the increasing adoption of electronically controlled braking solutions across the domestic automotive market.
ZF Group Electric Park Brake Technology and Benefits
The EPB system replaces conventional mechanical parking brakes with an electronically controlled solution. This shift delivers low-drag performance, which contributes to improved fuel efficiency and helps extend the driving range of electric vehicles, while also lowering noise, vibration, and harshness levels.
Key functional advantages of the ZF Group Electric Park Brake include:
Global Scale and Local Manufacturing Focus
Globally, ZF has deployed more than 250 million EPB calipers across vehicles worldwide, underlining the maturity and reliability of the technology. The Oragadam production line strengthens local manufacturing capabilities while aligning with India’s transition toward electrified and software-driven vehicle architectures.
With this expansion, ZF Group continues to reinforce its position in advanced passenger car braking systems, ensuring scalable supply, consistent quality, and readiness for the evolving requirements of electric and next-generation vehicles in India.
