Established in 1985 as a joint venture company with the Suri Group holding a 40 per cent stake, Denso Corporation and Suzuki Motor Corporation holding a 13 per cent stake each, Subros Ltd., has developed thermal solutions for commercial vehicles. These include air-conditioning compressors, condensors, evaporators, heat exchangers and various other bits that make a HVAC system in an automobile. Finding use in CVs manufactured by Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, SML Isuzu, Force Motors and Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, the thermal solutions the company is providing are eliciting good demand. With the count of professional fleets going up in India, the demand for fully-built CVs with airconditioning system is rising. It is, in the process, triggering a shift from economy CVs to value CVs. With the government mandating the fitting of a blower unit in CVs with a GVW of 3.5-tonnes and above, the Thermal systems market for CVs is opening up in India. With the AC bus and reefer truck market experiencing strong demand – the market for AC bus is estimated to be between 15,000 and 20,0000 units per annum, and for reefer truck is estimated to be 3,000 units, Subros is finding itself in an advantageous position.
