The Hub Drive Division is the largest manufacturer of Speedo hub
drives in India. These hub drives are used in mopeds, scooterettes
and motorcycles. A market share of over 90% in Hub drives speaks
volumes about the quality of the product and value offered to the
customer. Most mopeds on Indian roads today carry a hub drive
manufactured by Essae.
Speedo Hub Drives perform the vital function of transmitting the
front wheel rotation of a two-wheeler to the speedometer.
Reliability and Field Performance are critical in this product. The
design of the product ensures very large MTBF.
The Hub Drive Division has a unique modular production system.
Assembly stations are so designed that one person puts together the
entire assembly, thereby eliminating handling damages and other
wasteful activities. Mistake - proofing is implemented at all
possible stages to ensure that a defective component does not go the
next process. The components are assembled, inspected and packed by
the same person. This ensures process ownership and better product
quality.
The Flow Production System is implemented methodically using the
principles of cell engineering, facilitating flow of material from
one operation to another with ease. This enables faster feedback to
the subsequent and the previous processes and improves productivity
substantially. Each operator is a process owner. The operators
themselves do the process setup, manufacturing and inspection of all
components.
The Hub Drive Division is certified for ISO/TS16949
