  • (1888PressRelease) December 01, 2011 - Krishnakumar Srinivasan has been named managing director of the consolidated business unit, reporting to Howard Liu, president of Eaton's Vehicle Group in Asia Pacific Region.

    "There are strong synergies that exist between Truck and Automotive, and combining these businesses in India allows us to maximize these advantages in the marketplace," said Liu.

    Srinivasan was previously Managing Director-Truck India at Eaton Corporation. In his expanded role he will have responsibility for both the automotive and truck product lines in India, including marketing, sales, business development, engineering, human resources, finance, supply chain and manufacturing.
