Commercial Vehicle Braking Breakthrough for India
Newzdaddy Business Updates
Brakes India Private Limited and TBK Co., Ltd. have taken an important step together by signing a capital and business alliance agreement. The announcement was made on 10th December 2025 in Ahmedabad. As part of this partnership, Brakes India, which is a TSF Group company, has invested in TBK and now holds 10% of its shares through a primary capital infusion. This investment marks a major moment for both organisations as they prepare to grow their cooperation and create better value for customers and partners. Both companies believe this agreement will help them use their strengths to support the commercial vehicle braking industry.
TBK is known around the world for its strong position in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle segment. The company makes key auto parts such as brakes, pumps and engine-related components. TBK has built a strong name by focusing on safety, reliability and durable technology. Because TBK already supplies to many global markets, this alliance gives both companies a chance to reach new regions. TBK holds specialised knowledge in engineered brake components and powertrain support systems, which are used widely in trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. This helps Brakes India gain access to new technical ideas and gives it a better understanding of global demand patterns.
Brakes India has also built a long history in braking systems. It is well known in India for its hydraulic and pneumatic braking products for commercial vehicles. The company works with major Indian truck and bus manufacturers. It has also developed safer and cleaner braking solutions to support the shift towards modern mobility. With this agreement, Brakes India’s existing hydraulic and pneumatic products may reach new export markets. This helps the company widen its global reach and build new customer relationships outside India. It also creates a chance to match Indian technology with global needs, which supports the Make in India goals.
On the other hand, TBK can now bring more of its products into the Indian market. India is one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for commercial vehicles. With stricter safety rules, growing logistics needs and a shift towards greener transport, companies are looking for reliable braking systems. TBK’s complementary product range fits well with India’s expanding commercial vehicle industry. This agreement allows both organisations to combine their research strengths and offer a stronger set of solutions. They can now explore new supply chains, share technical knowledge and reduce development time by working together.
Mr Kaoru Ogata, President and CEO of TBK, said that both companies will support each other’s technologies and customer networks. He shared that the partnership will help them create high-value-added products suited for advanced mobility. He also explained that this joint effort aims to open new opportunities in global markets by using the research and industry experience of both organisations.
Mr Sriram Viji, Managing Director of Brakes India, added that this milestone shows their focus on long-term growth. He said the alliance gives Brakes India access to TBK’s strong product line for India, while TBK customers across the world will be able to use Brakes India’s proven pneumatic braking systems. He also stressed that this collaboration will lead to safer, cleaner and more efficient braking technologies, which is important as commercial vehicles move towards more sustainable mobility solutions.
This partnership comes at a time when the automobile industry is changing quickly. Globally, companies are working on electric mobility, cleaner engines and safer transport systems. Braking technology plays a key role in all these areas. Modern braking systems must handle higher loads, provide faster response time and offer better control. By joining hands, Brakes India and TBK will be able to share research, test new ideas together and speed up the development of advanced systems for trucks, buses and heavy-duty machines.
The agreement also shows how international cooperation can help industries grow. It gives both companies the chance to use each other’s market presence. TBK gets a stronger hold in India, which is an important manufacturing hub, while Brakes India gains a path to markets in East Asia, Europe and other global regions where TBK is already active.
The move supports wider industry goals such as road safety, environmental responsibility and improved vehicle performance. As more countries push for cleaner emissions and safer highways, strong braking technology becomes even more important. Both companies believe their partnership will support next-generation mobility and help shape the future of commercial vehicle braking.
