Eaton consolidates Automotive and Truck Operations in India

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation, a global leader in diversified power management solutions, has announced that its Vehicle Group’s Automotive and Truck businesses in India are being consolidated into one operating unit. Krishnakumar Srinivasan has been named managing director of the consolidated business unit, reporting to Howard Liu, president of Eaton’s Vehicle Group in Asia Pacific Region. "There are strong synergies that exist between Truck and Automotive, and combining these businesses in India allows us to maximise these advantages in the marketplace,” said Liu. "One of the most obvious is the shared customers both businesses serve, such as Tata. We can now accelerate a “Power of One” approach in creating new systems and solutions for the marketplace and better cross sell our wide range of product offerings in commercial and passenger vehicles.” Srinivasan was previously general manager of Eaton’s truck business in India. In his expanded role he will have responsibility for both the automotive and truck product lines in India, including marketing, sales, business development, engineering, human resources, finance, supply chain and manufacturing.
