Doga, a Spain-based bus and coach auxiliary product manufacturer, showcased its complete range of bus wiper systems at Busworld India 2016. The company, a specialist in manufacture and supply of windshield wiper and washer systems, window lift systems, electro fans, blowers, air ducts, drive systems, gas springs, will be setting up its plant near Bengaluru for manufacturing wiper systems next year. Doga’s products have been used by Volvo Buses for more than a decade and are well adapted to and accepted in the Indian market.
Mr. Nacho Garces, Marketing Manager, Doga, explained about the new wiper system with two independent motors synced by a control unit: “The biggest advantage of these systems is it frees up the complete space inside the dashboard and also makes the system maintenance free.” The company also displayed different wiper products like pantographic systems, panoramic swing wiper and tandem systems.
Mr. Sandeep Shetty Managing Director, Doga India seems excited about the company’s progress. He said, “We are participating at Busworld India for the first time, though we are here for more than 15 years. We are currently in the construction stage of our plant which will be opened by next year.” The company is looking at niche customers like Volvo and Scania and is planning for a volume for around 3,000 to 4,000 units initially, ready for capacity expansion as the demand rises. The India-made products will have phased indigenisation starting from linkages and arms followed by other parts.
