Innovation at a Glance

Innovation is the heart of Endurance. Our R&D initiatives are critical for us to maintain our leadership and competitive edge in our chosen verticals. Being technology driven, we continue to invest in the best testing equipment and engineering software. We have initiated an advanced engineering cell to consistently meet our customer expectations and to support us in our innovation journey. We have built a culture of innovation where we challenge prevailing assumptions when warranted, reconceptualise issues to find solutions, and continue to simplify. We encourage our employees to share ideas without any inhibition and appreciate their efforts through Aspire and IdeaFest events.

"ASPIRE" an initiative to nurture innovation culture

We initiated project ASPIRE to make innovation as a way of life for Endurians. We celebrate our employees across functions at all levels for their innovative ideas via IdeaFest event. More than 12,000 ideas have been received so far which have improved quality, reduced cost, enhanced safety and have contributed to the environment. We further motivate our employees by inviting esteemed leaders to share their insights. Padma Vibhushan Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar, Prof. Anil Gupta are some of the speakers who have shared their wisdom with us.

Featured Innovation

ENDURANCE PROVING GROUND

We are the first tier 1 supplier in India to develop a state-of-the-art proving ground to test our products directly on the vehicle. Spread across 29 acres, the Endurance Proving Ground (EPG), enables us to test our suspension, transmission and braking products across different surfaces including high speed performance track, ride evaluation track, ABS evaluation track, ride & handling track, gradient track, steering pad, mud & water trough, dust tunnel & country track. EPG is managed from a central control tower at the Operations Centre which includes the fully-equipped confidential workshops required for preparing the vehicles for testing, riders’ rest areas and the test track maintenance building. EPG has certified test riders trained by global experts in vehicle riding and evaluation of suspension, transmission & braking products.

ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) has certified our EPG for testing two and three wheeled vehicles.
