Customers include the JCB machine divisions as well as third party equipment manufacturers in a variety of sectors such as construction, agriculture, forestry, mining, aviation and industry.
DSL is unique in that complete drivetrain packages incorporating JCB engines, transmissions, axles, and a variety of JCB components are offered affording other mobile equipment OEM`s the opportunity to take advantage of JCB`s vast experience in powertrain integration for modern off highway equipment Nigel Harding is General Manager responsible for developing new business and working with customers on their bespoke requirements;
“JCB Drivetrain Systems modifies existing componentry for customers to give them better economies of scale and lower unit costs. Alternatively we can engineer completely new products for them for a particular application. Many of our products are not even used in JCB machines; in fact a significant chunk of our business is external to the JCB group so we are totally focussed on providing the right solution for our customers; whatever industry, whether it be a bespoke driveline solution or an individual component”.
