Schaeffler is currently assessing the creation of a Global Capability Centre (GCC) to strengthen its software and digital expertise. This initiative is in line with the company’s overall shift towards electrification, digitalization, and achieving climate neutrality.
The proposed GCC will enhance Schaeffler’s current mechatronics center in Pune, which specializes in the design and development of electromechanical systems. Additionally, it will support the Bengaluru facility, acquired through the Vitesco merger, which employs approximately 900 engineers focused on power electronics and software development.
“We are drawing up plans for the Global Capability Centre, which will help us strengthen our expertise not just in automotive but also in the industrial sector. Digitalisation is crucial, and without it, achieving our 2040 climate neutrality goal will be impossible,” said Harsha Kadam, CEO and MD, Schaeffler India.
Schaeffler has set an ambitious target to become climate neutral by 2040, well ahead of India’s 2070 commitment. “All our actions are geared towards meeting this goal. To get there, software and digitalisation cannot be ignored,” Kadam added.
The company is currently evaluating the best location for the new GCC, with Bengaluru being one of the key contenders. “We are assessing various options for setting up the centre, and a final decision is yet to be made,” Kadam stated.
With this move, Schaeffler aims to bolster its innovation and research and development capabilities.
