Mr. Anjanikumar Srivastava, CFO, TIVA, shares how the company is preparing for the next phase of commercial mobility through advanced trailer engineering, sustainable manufacturing and close collaboration with OEMs developing alternate fuel vehicles.
The commercial vehicle industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by cleaner fuel technologies, evolving customer expectations, improved logistics and a growing focus on sustainability. According to Mr. Anjanikumar Srivastava, CFO, TIVA, this transition is creating new opportunities for the trailer industry, which must evolve alongside electric, LNG, CNG and other alternate fuel prime movers. “The future belongs to trailer solutions that combine engineering excellence, sustainability and customer-centric innovation,” said Mr. Srivastava.
He believes customers today expect much more than a conventional trailer. They seek products that deliver higher safety, reliability, efficiency and lifecycle value while helping improve productivity and reduce operating costs.
As Tata International Vehicle Applications (TIVA), the company has positioned itself as a trusted trailer partner for most leading OEMs developing electric and alternate fuel prime movers in India. Close collaboration with these manufacturers provides valuable insights into changing vehicle architectures and enables TIVA to develop trailer solutions that are ready for future mobility requirements.
Innovation remains central to the company’s product roadmap. TIVA is exploring lightweight, high-strength steel to improve payload capacity without compromising structural integrity, while continuing to design application-specific trailers capable of delivering reliable performance across diverse operating conditions.
Driving Sustainable Manufacturing and Global Expansion
Looking ahead to 2030, sustainability will remain a key pillar of TIVA’s growth strategy. The company is strengthening its manufacturing operations through greater efficiency, responsible production practices and initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint. Planned investments include the adoption of solar power and increased automation to enhance quality, productivity and manufacturing consistency.
Beyond its core trailer business, TIVA is also pursuing new growth opportunities through export expansion, specialised trailer solutions for the defence sector and products supporting the growing demand for containerised logistics.
“Strong partnerships with customers, OEMs, suppliers, dealers and employees have always been the foundation of our success. As the industry evolves, collaboration will become even more important,” Mr. Srivastava shared.
He emphasised that TIVA’s long-term vision extends beyond manufacturing trailers. By combining engineering excellence, responsible manufacturing, customer-focused innovation and strategic partnerships, the company aims to contribute to a more efficient and sustainable transportation ecosystem while strengthening its presence in global markets. By 2030, TIVA aspires to remain at the forefront of trailer innovation, supporting the evolving needs of India’s commercial vehicle industry and emerging mobility landscape.
