Tata Motors’ World Trucks range would be the first heavy commercial vehicles in India to have parabolic springs from day one. Jamna Auto Industries Ltd. (JAI) and Tata ERC engineers have worked together to produce parabolic springs for this prestigious range of vehicles. These springs have gone through many stringent tests both at Tata Motors and JAJ.
JAI, India’s largest spring manufacturer with four manufacturing units, introduced the parabolic springs technology in India way back in 1988. About 95 per cent of European trucks run on parabolic springs, whereas in India switch-over from traditional conventional springs to parabolic springs in heavy commercial vehicles has just started.
JAI introduced parabolic springs for the Maruti car in 1988 and later on produced the same for the Sumo and Ace range of vehicles.
Parabolic springs not only improve the ride comfort but also increase the life of the springs with the superior manufacturing technology involved. These springs weigh 20-25 per cent less than conventional springs.
