Asia calling

At a recent press event in Spain, Bezares talked to SEAC about its activities in the Asian region and also shared various models of PTOs and pumps targeted at this market. 

Bezares has set up two joint ventures in Asia: Bezares Power Zhejiang Co Ltd in China and Bezares Alpha Drives in India, which were opened in 2016 and 2019 respectively.

According to Bezares, about 15% of its sales now comes from the Asian market. The company is present in several countries across the region, including Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines, among others.

Pedro de la Puente Ampuero, business development manager for Asia and Pacific at Bezares, said the company serves both OEMs and aftermarket suppliers in Asia. He also noted that Southeast Asia currently presents an increasingly attractive market for Bezares, due to the booming infrastructure projects in the region.

In Asia, Bezares offers a number of PTO models designed for gearboxes of many major brands, such as Allison, Eaton, ZF, Toyota, Mitsubishi Fuso, Volvo, Nissan, Scania, Dong Feng, Shaanxi, Isuzu and Hino, to name a few. There are different shifts available: mechanical, electrical, vacuum and pneumatic. Some of these PTOs include:

• Lateral PTO for Isuzu MYY, MEB9 gearboxes

Bezares also has various pumps for the Asian market, such as:

• FR2 twin-flow piston pumps, which can be used for a variety of solutions in different high-pressure applications.

• BE2 twin-flow gear pumps with side ports, one directional, which are made of high-strength cast iron.
